Due to the internet and reading devices, I can't even remember the last time I actually bought a magazine. Might have been 10 years ago? I noticed that my local supermarkets don't even have a magazine rack anymore like they used to.

The last time I read a magazine was in the doctor's office a few months ago.

Every time I fly I buy at least one, or several, based on the length of travel.

Not as many as I used to. Newsweek went all digital and I lost interest in US News and World Report. The aquarium magazine I got for years was bought up by one I don't really like so that subscription ended.

I just didn't renew National Geographic recently but kept Smithsonian.

Being a member of Ducks Unlimitedly, Delta Waterfowl and the NRA comes with a magazine subscription relative to each. I also get the stand alone Waterfowl magazine.

Mrs. NBP still gets a couple or four magazines but she's gone digital for several others.

It may be my age but I find digital to be a pain in the ass. The reason I still get real newspapers.

There are multiple ways in which to consume published materials. From a printed page is still one of them.

My dad still reads The Smithsonian. But he’s 93. I reckon when he dies they will have no more subscribers.

I actually get a lot of magazines--there's always deals on Groupon or I use my airline points. I generally don't like reading a digital magazine--I'd rather hold it in my hand and pass it alone when I'm done with it.

I have Newsweek online that comes with print issue...which is a joke. It's about 18 pgs and no where near like issues of the past.

I subscribe to Architectural Digest and Vanity Fair. I also visit their websites. I like being able to hold the magazine and easily flip back and forth. The on-line versions can be a pain to use.
