Does anyone read magazines anymore?

I once had a free subscription to a paper magazine, and then out of nowhere they changed to an e-magazine. That was the last magazine I think I held in my hand to read. At the dentist’s office last week, I noticed several magazines ready for perusal, and they were fairly recent. I guess they must still be in grocery store lines, but I don’t recall. Do you have any magazine prescriptions, whether it be one you receive in the mail or an e-magazine? What are they?

I am always amazed when I browse Barnes and Noble. They have literally hundreds of magazines, about every subject there is--and OH, are they ever expensive. So many are from at least $9 up to the thick classy ones that are like $20-$25! Um, no thanks, Once upon a time I enjoyed a magazine or two, years ago. Not anymore!

I haven't had a subscription to a physical magazine in years. However, the most recent one I wanted to get was Men's Health because Jellyroll was on the cover.

Not really, unless I'm in a waiting office and there's nothing else to do

I can't remember the last time I read a magazine. It's been ages.

I still read newspapers everyday. Yet it is only seldom that I buy new magazines now. Even my book reading frequency is down since the last year due to multiple reasons. I do receive offers for E magazines like from Magzter site but have not subscribed to any. However I do plan to devote some more time fr book reading from this year.

I get a magazine from AARP and the DAV. I do thumb through them and will read articles of interest.

My husband still subscribes to 2 computer magazines and one crosswords. The digital version of the computer magazines is available. He downloaded one but he prefers the paper version.
