I quit buying paper magazines about 3 years ago and I've been weeding out old ones from my sewing room. I found that I like the magazines I can subscribe to on my Nook because wherever I go I have a library always with met . Plus they're much cheaper. I have yet to buy a quilting book on Nook because I haven't seen a great cost savings. I have also organized all those free internet patterns on my laptop and Evernote for my use only and again very portable and gives me things to read and dream of while traveling with dh.
