NewsWeek drops print

NewsWeek drops print.

Already, though so far primarily from "independent" publishers, many books are only available as ebooks. Now magazines are going the same way. I don't think the future is far away where if you can't or won't use a tablet/ereader or computer screen, your choice of reading material will be severely restricted, and eventually ridiculously small.

strangely, my roleplaying mag Talespinner (http://www.amazon.com/Talespinner-Ganesha-Roleplaying-Magazine-Volume/dp/1479127663/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1350852727&sr=8-1&keywords=talespinner+magazine ) sold almost as many print copies as it sold ebooks (generally my ratio is 12-20 ebooks per every deadtree book sold). Probably my numbers are too small to constitute a valid research.
