It's funny you should say. I used to read
New Scientist,
Black & White Photography, and
Philosophy Now (I'm not trying to be a smarty with that last - I only ever understood every other word in it
). Now...well, I just don't. And yet if I could subscribe to some kind of analogous magazine format easily, having it "delivered" to my device automatically
(*), I'd probably start reading them again. I'd actually start paying for that content again. I'm not a newspaper person, but I do like to sit down with a mag'.
It's probably just a legacy perception of desired format, but it's
my legacy perception of desired format.
(That is, I don't pretend my singular desires drive the market, otherwise there'd be a Massimo's Gelateria on every corner instead of a coffee shop)
Cheers,
Marc
