Well, the beginning of a new year means that it's time for me to renew memberships and subscriptions. At one time or another I've had subscriptions to the following:
a) Shooting Times
b) Guns & Ammo
c) Combat Handguns
d) Shooting Illustrated
e) G&A Handguns
f) American Handgunner
g) American Rifleman
h) American Hunter
i) America's 1st Freedom
Several of these are available in both print and digital versions. I resisted the digital versions at first, but after trying one I realized that they do have advantages. With my latest NRA renewal, though, I decided to go back to print. I like being able to take the magazine places where a computer shouldn't go ;D. And after finishing the magazines, I like to leave them in doctor's offices and such to help "spread the word."
What about y'all? Which magazines do you read and do you prefer print or digital?
-
Print for me!
It keeps the postman honest! ;D
-
I currently have GUNS and American Handgunner opened up in seperate tabs on my computer.
Digital all the way.

I receive those as well as American COP. Do you think the digital versions that are available free of charge to subscribers regard advertisers with unwarranted deference?
-
I like print. I haven't tried digital, so I'm not a fair comparison.

I read them on the toilet, or at the local coffee shop.
I want print, it's hard to tear a page out of a kindle when you get caught short. ;D

I get AH and GUNs....and the digital just doesn't do it for me. I like printed magazines. I have read a few online, but it just don't feel the same.
-
I get the print version of AR.
-
I get Guns and AH in digital, mainly because they offered it to me for free.
American Rifleman, Rifle and Handloader come print editions. If I want to tear out an article and file it away it's so much easier with print.

I've found that saving an article from a digital version is easy if I first save the PDF then print just the pages I want to save by using a "straight to PDF" print driver such as Docudesk deskPDF or CutePDF.

American Rifleman print version.
-
neither!

I recently changed to digital from print version of "America's First Freedom". It took some getting used to, but I like it.

neither!
