Do you think it will ever happen? TAS, Stereophile....?

I **think** Tone can be read in a .pdf on them. right Jeff?

Of course the Nook, Kindle & ipad are probably the biggest players thus far.

You can read TONE on the iPad with Good Reader, but we are working on a premium version that should be available soon. We won't address the kindle or nook because they don't offer a meaningful translation of the magazine due to the bw graphics and inability to zoom the page.

You can get stereophile on zinio, and it reads well. I believe you can also get hifi news there. It's the way were heading, print just isn't a sustainable model for specialty consumer magazines for much longer.

Hope not. Its nice to get them by mail. Just like Album covers. Love to handle the magazine. Besides no magnetic field from the pooter. Just paper.

Yeah the ipad is really cool but I'm waiting for the next version. It will not run my computer programs anyway so the Nook is better for me as I still have to carry a laptop.

I agree though. Print is going away fairly quick...
