Poll: Do you still buy Magazines?

[Ice Tea]

As in paper ones that you buy from a shop or have delivered in the post.

 

[Jimbo1010]

Not bought any for many years though I do download some. My son recently subscribed to the Spectator and had it delivered but has now gone to online only

 

[potatolord]

I have a subscription to The Economist, and have a paper copy delivered weekly, with access to the online version. I like having a hard copy- just so much easier to read.

I also buy Viz regularly.

I therefore have a full range of news and culture.

 

[Stu999]

Not really, sometime get digital ones.

 

[Spannerhead]

Nope. Don’t like wasting paper and making the house untidy

 

[robfosters]

Only mags I get now are the odd TV guide mag and the free food/supermarket ones you sometimes get with your shopping, like Ocado Life or the Sainsbury’s magazine.

The last magazine i had i found in a hedge but the pages were all stuck together so i couldn't read it.

 

[peterwalkley]

Economist subscription to the dead tree version here as well, but pretty much everything else online.

 

[Efour]

I have 30 X 5.56 gtg always.
I might buy some more now you reminded me. Thanks.

 

[Jimbo1010]

Hard copies of TV magazines are always good to circle things to watch. God I sound old, lol!

 

[Bluecube]

I still subscribe to the paper edition of PC Pro. Must’ve been subscribed for 20 years now despite the fact I don’t work in IT! Great mag that’s worth supporting. I‘ll also pick up a copy of Linux Format and White Dwarf now and again.

Paper magazines are better reads than their electronic equivalents. I tried reading mags on my iPad but it was painful.

Only for my Glock, pow pow.

 

[something daft already!!]

No, never. My partner buys women's magazines still and still spends much of her day with her head stuck in her phone.

 

[GGizmo]

Parents buy a daily newspaper, though I think it's mainly for the tv guide.

I used to buy a computer magazine. I've bought private eye in the recent past. I'm still open to buying magazines if I find a good one.

I find magazines have a higher quality level than websites.

10 years ago I used to read a lot of newspapers daily, 4 nationals and 3 local/regional papers.

 

[m@rty]

Only the dirty ones

 

[TheVoice]

I have an Edge subscription.

 

[Werewolf]

I was going to make a joke about needing to go to a "specialist store" to buy my magazine, then realised Computer Weekly went digital only over a decade ago.

 

[something daft already!!]

why no "no" or "Pancake" option in the poll?

 

[Andrew_McP]

Does occasionally getting an urge to go out and buy Computer Shopper count? So many adverts... so little money... those were the days!

Now if I want retail excitement I just open up the website page of graphics card prices and remember why I'm glad I switched to laptops.
