I agree with you, though I wish I had more faith in magazine publishers to be creative (and ambitious) enough to add content to make the additional subscription worthwhile. I subscribe to Sky & Telescope magazine, for example. I would pay an additional amount for the interactive subscription if I received all of the content of the printed version and if there was some additional, interactive content. An interactive sky/star map, direct links to the demos of software/equipment they review, enlargeable versions of images, etc.

Unfortunately, I suspect we'll get more of the same we're seeing from e-reader magazine content now. Poorly formatted articles with sparse images. The ads will be interactive though!
