Have you tried reading an online magazine while travelling by mumbai local train, waiting for a bus, in the canteen, etc ?
No. I usually concentrate on getting there faster rather than abusing my eyes trying to read a glossy magazine under direct sunlight in a moving vehicle.
Ya but hope springs eternally and a book is most (ly) convienent.

Online reading is also expensive as long periods of computer activity mean big electricity bills. Everyone won't use a lappy.
One point we did not raise was the intended reach of a linux magazine. If linux is touted as a peoples' operating system then its magazine should be accessible to the people not just the elite. Bandwidth costs are still high enough to restrict direct downloads of CDs and DVDs at will. We have just begun, to stop looking at the time counter to disconnect the net connection. Therefore a magazine with bundled CDs/DVDs is a must for the software to spread across the entire user base. Technology alone will be of little use if it does not reach the people.
