My magazines come on time and I get to choose what I want. no contracts, great rates, and a trial period. An idea whose time has finally come. Every month is like Christmas. I am a reader and love the feel of a book, magazine in my hand. I can read and re-read at my leisure and carry my material with me. I revised my list multiple times and finally tweaked it to my ultimate satisfaction. Since you can cancel any month, you have nothing to lose. I hope they stay around forever. my daughter wants to get her own subscription. I maxed out at 15.

Where would we have gone? Magazines, unlike music or movies, don't travel well to a web delivery model. We like to hold them and flip the pages while we lounge and live away from the computer.

This idea has as much if not more potential to me than Netflix or Blockbuster because you get to keep the mags. With the movie services, you can easily get to a point of wanted to leave because you don't watch enough movies to justify the cost. Magazines on the other hand are something you typically do with the time between other activities like movies and you can benefit from moments at a time with them over the course of months years owning them.

I'll try it. Suspect many other mag lovers will as well.
