You are right about the comics, I was referring to the magazines you named. My guess is that National Geographics would look a lot better on a 13" screen.

That and a few art magazines too ... It has great potential; the behaviour of the publishers is what can make or break the transition from paper to electronic.


The Times (UK) has made a start, but although new, I doubt their commercial model. Buy an iPad, pay per month for the app, then a weekly subscription (although the latter is cheaper, by far, than the paper issues).
