plain jane Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) The EconomistNational Geographic Scientific American Sierra Club Oooo. I've been wanting a subscription to The Economist for some time now but the price makes me :svengo:. Do you read yours on iPad or print? I'm confused about the iPad versions- iTunes Newstand and the Zineo(??). Which do you use, if on iPad?

I've been wanting a subscription to The Economist for some time now but the price makes me :svengo:.Do you read yours on iPad or print? I'm confused about the iPad versions- iTunes Newstand and the Visio(??). Which do you use, if on iPad? We get the actual magazine in print. We love it; it is by far the most comprehensive news magazine, with a lot more content and in depth analysis than Time or Newsweek. Regular subscription is currently $96 for one year which does sound a lot at once- but translates into only $1.88 per week. (I don't know what our rate is; we have had the subscription for many years). Student rate is $1.51 per week, or $77/year.

Element Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) The Atlantic I love The Economist but I don't really have time to read a weekly I used to read Harper's but I just kind of fell out of love with it in the past few years. I'll probably subscribe to it again someday. Edited for clarification: Harper's Magazine, not Harper's Bazaar. :) Edited November 4, 2012 by Element Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lailasmum Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I don't read magazines very often. When I do it's usually either National Geographic, Molly Makes, New Scientist, The Ecologist, Practical poultry, BBC History or a random photography or gardening magazine.

Jennifer3141 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) I am a magazine junkie! (As one of you found out when you asked me to buy some GS magazines last year. lol) I have 5 "girl" magazines I like to read in the bathtub at night. I'm too embarressed to tell you all their names. Just pick 5 beaty/junk magazines. Although "Marie Claire" often has some tough social articles for women. (I justify it that way.) I get Saveur, Bon Appetit, and Fine Cooking and the Food Network magazine and Culture (the cheese magazine). Those are my inspirational cooking mags. I get Hobby Farms, Grit, Mother Earth News, and Urban Farm and Hobby Farm Home and Backyard Poultry. For real brain food, I read The Economist and Scientific American and Mother Jones. I need to add an astronomy magazine to that because this Xmas, we are getting a good family telescope. For my heart, I read two pagan magazines: Crone and the main goddess one whose name just exited my brain. My "peace" in life comes from sitting in my bathtub for an hour or more every other day with a good magazine. I love them. And DD is selling magazines through her GS troop right now. If anyone wants to order and support GS and my DD, contact me or contact any other GS you know right now! :) I usually rip the heck out of my cooking magazines. But I pass the farming ones off to my friends, unless I keep articles from those too. The rest of them get recycled. I'm in the process of moving stuff to my ipad.

MrsMommy Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I'll be honest and admit that my magazine reading is complete fluff! Redbook and Glamour, and occasionally I'll pick up Good Housekeeping. We would subscribe to The New Yorker if it wasn't so expensive; other than that, I have no interest in magazine reading for edification...I'm in it for the fashion and light-hearted articles!

morningxmorning Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I really like The Economist but anytime I subscribe I just end up feeling like a failure. It is very dense and I can never keep up with it week to week. I just signed up for Smithsonian and I'm thinking about Nat. Geo. I also get O, People, and Entertainment Weekly.

eternalknot Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I'm looking to broaden my horizons. :). I don't currently read magazines but would like to start adding some to my weekly reading. What ones do you enjoy? I work on an airplane, so I'm always picking up random magazines left behind there or in the terminal :D we joke that we could tell when the economy went south a few years ago because people stopped leaving magazines, and started instead to take them home! I'll read just about anything, and I've learned there is certainly a magazine for any interest. My favorites are The Week, The New Yorker, and - for my gossip fix - something in the Us Weekly/Star/People vein (don't care which, can't tell a difference half of the time). We also have subscriptions to GAMES magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternalknot Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 TimeNewsweek I picked up one of these just this week; can't remember which, but the front page was about the weed industry and growhouses as an enterprise. In the front it mentioned that (whichever magazine it was) would be going 100% digital in 2013. I'm so sad! I can't get into digital magazines or papers. I really prefer to have it in hand. The whole digitizing of reading material is going to but a serious crimp in my free-reading supply at work. Boo! So, OP, that would be a factor for me -- is the magazine of my choice going to be available in print?
