I like online edition of newspapers and magazines. It is very convenient to open it any time you wish. And there is need to wait for the published magazine to appear at the stores. A great way for searching, looking through the information needed are the main advantages of online edition.

Although I agree that online mags are taking over it is a shame if it leads to the loss of the paper magazine completely. Sometimes I prefer to flick through a real paper magazine!

I actually prefer stuff online instead of having a hard copy of the magazine. It is easy to search for articles as well as having a quick way to look up magazines instead of hoarding all past magazines. The only deceptive things is that online media is always more eco-friendly than print media. The only situation is when the electricity used to power the servers is totally renewable.

Well that’s sweet that they already had a success (profitable) online business model going. Sure helps.

To add to what Jaan said… plus advertisers can test offers quicker online and see results faster.

I was in the doctor’s office just last week and saw PC Magazine for the first time in years. It was THIN. I remember the behemoth issues that the mailman used to stuff into my mailbox 20 years ago and i barely recognized that it was the same magazine. I knew then that it was just a matter of time before the print publication followed InfoWorld and others gently into that good night. I know that it’s just because I am old, but I still really like printed material, even though it’s totally impractical. I guess I needed to buy PC Magazine once in the last 20 years if I want to lament its passing.

Print just cant reach consumers fast enough with content/opinion. Waiting 30 days to read about something that happened 50 days ago is simply not going to cut it in the tech industry. Jaan Kanellis's last blog post..Google Search-Based Keyword Tool (New)

It is as you say a natural progression when you see the accounts, however, there is something strange about reading large articles or collections of articles on a monitor. I buy magazines for some ‘down-time’ relaxation. Like on the couch at night time or in bed. Cozying up with the laptop doesn’t do it for me.

I have been a subscriber of Maximum P.C. for a few years and have noticed the turn to web use with them as well. While I have not heard of them going exclusively online I would much rather hold the magazine and flip the pages than read it online. Matt Thomas's last blog post..Basics of Solar Energy

There are a few trees that will be saved by this initiative. Going exclusively online will definitely cut a lot of overheads, from printing costs through to distribution, which should really boost the bottom line for PC Mag.

I guess it's not surprising, but I really can't see reading PC Magazine online. I loved it when traveling since I had the time to read it in airports and on the plane. Was my favorite magazine when flying. Too many choices online, and too much other stuff to do, than to read about computers.
