I'm wondering, some magazine genres went straight down the tubes with the advent of the internet, while others (mine for example) are thriving.

Magazines are actually my favourite medium. The internet is great, but the vehicle utilized to supply the medium (aka: the computer) is an unfriendly format. Cold and glaring, it can't come close to the relationship a person can have with printed media.
I just don't understand the new Kindle phenomena. Why would people who work in front of a screen all day want to go home and relax with another one? Even I, as a mechanic who does not work with computers, have no interest in reading from an electronic tablet. I love printed books and magazines and hope that they will always be with us.
