Gun magazines - print or digital?
« on: January 04, 2012, 12:13:13 PM »
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?

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 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.
