| Print Media vs Online Publications... |

There is no denying that it is extremely hard to financially support a print gaming mag anymore and though I think most gamers get mosf of there information from online sources I can't help but wonder am I the last of the print magazine readers. I still try and catch PC Gamer and some of the MMO oriented mags and from time to time and I even manage to squeeze in a bit of fantasy paperback reading from time to time and as I looked at the floor to ceiling bookshelf in my living room I fear that hard copy print books may be living on borrowed time. Alrighty after all that rambling let's have you all weigh in on the subject.

Gaming info - totally online sources for me.
Reading for entertainment - definitely a printed book as there are tons to choose from in this house! I'm envious of your bookcase. :-)

I am a paper person, I have my magazine subions, but then again I like to have something to physicaly touch, underline and such. I do my MMO news online (obviously since I write each week for the site) But my other stuff like wedding magazines and stuff I like to have in print.
Though I want most of my television online and in podcast form now... Podshow network FTW! :-D

I don't know why but for some reason I find print much easier to read than items on the screen and a magazine can be awfully convenient and portable and of course you never get a broken link on a magazine but of course in terms of providing content in a timely fashion on line makes it no contest.
