I like magazines and find it rather annoying to have to go online to get 'the whole story', so to speak. To move magazines totally to book readers like kindle would be terrible! The formet is so compact I don't think quilting magazines would transfer well. I like to relax and flip through a magazine at leisure, not in front of my computer. Same with books. Only advantage with e-book or computer is a robust search engine to find something fast. That would work best for a quilting book that was not a pattern book.
