I think it depends on what you are viewing them on. On a Kindle Fire they look fabulous and it is small and book like to hold. On the computer the magazines look good, but I don't really want to curl up with the computer.
It's nice not to have the paper laying around and I LOVE, LOVE the search feature on the Kindle Fire. If you want a certain pattern, you can search by it's name in all of your magazines at once!
