Magazines

I have a love for magazines. I have for years. I am one of those who squeals when the September issue hits the mailbox. I love flipping through those huge magazines looking at all the clothes, reading the articles, and smelling the samples. However, I have recently had something come up that may change everything.

I have an IPad, well I have two but one has a cracked screen courtesy of one of my Stanley’s (yes I’m one of those however my daughter bought all mine so blame her 😉 Not really but still) anyway…. I decided one day to open my Kindle and start reading a book I could not find any other way. Well, I could but to read it was going to be very expensive, but free on Kindle Unlimited. Back to the story..

I was reading in the evening and realized a few things. 1. It was backlit meaning, I did not have to have a book light or all the lights on. (win) 2. It wasn’t heavy, okay I read and sometimes those books are heavy! That was a win. And, finally, it dawned on me, I can carry ALL my books on my tablet. ALLL of them!

Well, I started reading and just haven’t stopped according to Kindle it’s been 41 days in a row! But, what does this have to do with magazines you ask. I almost forgot I got on that happy story. But, I also have an AppleOne subscription which comes with tons of magazines that I can look though with a sipe of my finger.

Here is my dilemma, I liked the big thick magazines with the pages, and I loved the smells. I am telling myself I still have the print ones and can enjoy that, for now. I just think all magazines are going to be going to online versions which is both sad and joyous. I think I’m on the cusp of crossing over to a digital life. Not my planner yet cause, well let’s face it I’m not ready, Erin Condren isn’t ready, and if I didn’t have a place to write down what I just did, let’s face it I’d have control issues.

So drop me a line and let me know what you like? Do you like in-print or virtual reading material? And, yes I know all this is contingent on there being power to power it, I have hundreds of actual books that I cannot part with.

Happy Reading ❤ ME
