I too prefer hard copy mags.....I have the habit of writing notes on a pattern I am considering, like change size, colors, whatever.......I also write on the front cover of the mags the pages I am interested in.sometimes a mag comes in or I buy for just one thing, I make copy of that, then pass mag along at guild meeting.......I don't " trust" electronic devices....crashes or whatever can happened and I really don't need to save everything "forever" .........
