Yup, totally agree with the write-up. It’s also the reason why print will never die in that it’s different enough from digital. They both have positives and negatives and of course there is a crossover, that said when digital magazines in specific get more interactivity then things will certainly start to get interesting, for me at least. I don’t think anything is going to tear me away from a physical copy though!

Hi Caroline. I have to say that although I consider myself converted to digital, there are times when I still prefer a newspaper, a magazine, or book. You make excellent points for print!

In reply to Suzan St Maur. Thanks Suzan for taking the time to respond and for showing the love. I love paper and I love digital so works well for me. But I love books I still buy more paper and hardback books then I do downloads. There's something comforting about getting to the end of the book.

Yes to all of the above, Caroline. As an author I still find far less satisfaction seeing an eBook of mine on Amazon or my own site, than I do when I can actually touch and feel its printed incarnation. And it’s not just old goats like me: my 22-yr-old son prefers print books to eBooks, too, and he claims that many of his contemporaries feel the same way. As for digital vs print for note-taking, I challenge anyone to see who’s faster on the draw – them with their IPad/tablet in a neat little case not yet switched on, or me with my (paper) notebook and pen…
