I have to admit (environmentally incorrect, I know)--I like having print magazines. I don't have a Kindle or iPad for reading and even if I did, there are some things I like to read at bedtime, and since I spend a lot of time at computers (for work as well as enjoyment), I like some times to be "unwired." Plus there's always recycling--and/ or giving old copies to the Y "wellness center" where people sometimes like a magazine to read while on bikes and treadmills (must say that wouldn't be my thing--trying to focus on a workout and also reading just aren't compatible, but different strokes...) However, I do like also having the online version b/c sometimes there's an article I might want to save even after I've recycled the print copy.

I agree with FMIF. I spend all day staring at a computer screen. When I get home I have no desire to do it some more. Besides there's nothing like holding a book, magazine or newspaper and reading. Especially just before bedtime. Kind of relaxing.
Has anyone been able to get this to work on an Android tablet. I have tried it with mine and it appears to load something, but there is nothing on the screen.

I tried my Kindle Fire HD, which is Android-based. It loads and displays something but the display is a little messed up (doesn't expand to fill the screen). It's usable though. The magazine looks good on my iPhone though, so presumably also on on iPad.

Do you own an e-reader, though? You might be surprised just how "book-like" they are. I had my doubts about them, too, before getting a Kindle a few years ago as a gift. Now I'd only read a print book very grudgingly.

I just tried it on a Samsung Galaxy Tab (10.1). The first time I loaded it, it froze after two pages, but the next time it worked pretty much fine. I found it much preferable to trying to read it on the computer screen, though there were some slight distortions to the font.

e-readers are pretty book-like these days, but at least according to the professional reading in my field, tablets are projected to replace the e-ink readers. I don't find tablets as enjoyable to read on, probably in large part because of all the other distractions available.
I'll spare you the diatribe about e-book purchase/use models, particularly where libraries are concerned... unless, of course, any of you are suffering from insomnia.
