Even a local daily Newspaper is like having a History Book delivered to your door every morning! I think that Books will be around forever, I could be wrong. This doesn’t surprise me at all.

I'll even do so when they're offering regular television or some informational video feed (think doctors office kiosk with programs about prostate heath...). I don't find it surprising that a technology magazine whose online publication mirrors their print magazine should abandon one for the other. I'm surprised that I'm still receiving as many technology publications in print as I do, especially considering most of the subscriptions are gratis and some I don't even remember signing up for. It would be interesting to see some statistics as to who is still successful in print. Can you post something about the top 5 print magazines still in circulation and compare/contrast against the top 5 online publications?

Considering that up-to-the-minute information is the standard for blogs and websites, print magazines are somewhat anachronistic for the PC and tech industry. With the exception of reviews and tutorials, everything in print is already out of date. PC mag and Ziff Davis in general have already been going online quite a lot, with podcasts and other content. This, I feel, was inevitable. The future of magazines will depend on their ability to capitalise on the title's appeal as casual reading — no one flips through PC magazine before they go to sleep or while lounging on the beach.
