I don't know about newspapers, as I mostly use newspapers to pack up boxes that I am shipping these days, but reading this article (Thanks WDE, BTW, and Welcome Back!) made me realize the considerable benefit magazines on tablets would be!
As others have often mentioned the scads of overstuffed bookcases they have, which I have too, all I have to do is look around my living room to see the piles of magazines I have and don't know what to do with and the boxes filled with cooking and remodeling magazines I'm not ready to part with. It was like an epiphany!
I used to spend days at a time "periodically" going through piles of magazines, pulling out the pictures or articles, ideas & recipes I'd want to save before I tossed the magazine into the recycling bin. Now with all of the time I spend on MR, I just don't have the time for that!
