The Bottom Line It is really a choice of your habits. Try to make your decision based on your needs and how you prefer to read those articles.

Like most woman I love to craft. I find that with my many subscriptions of magazines, there are those little clipouts. Those type of pictures and such that make a great decoupage plaque or decal and the like.

With Internet at my every waking moment, there are the times I would just like to walk away from the computer and sit in the the yard on a nice beautiful day and read my favorite articles. Work life is on the computer and play life tends to bend around the computer alot too. So the luxury of walking away from it is enlightened at times. Of course I can print out information from any website and read that while sitting in the lawn chair slurping a tall glass of home made iced tea. But I sure love the pictures and adds that the magazine brings. It helps to add more texture in my life.

Now if your not sure which to stay with, I would just suggest to you this. If you do not have subscriptions now, and realize you really have no need for them, then don't start any. If you have some and enjoy your favorite magazines through the mail, then stay with them. I myself am always in the Barnes and Noble store here, searching for book/magazine material. I love to have information. There are times I have compared that magazine to their website, and found that if I did not get that month's subscription in the mail, I would have missed many articles or other information that was not found on the website.

The choice is rather a very easy one to make. Just watch your own habits and see if you like to have the magazine in physical form or website printed out form. Myself personally, I couldn't see myself surfing into 12 different magazine websites on a monthly basis and printing all the articles out for my use offline. It is far more beneficial to me to have the magazine or book in front of me. Yes it would save the cost of having to pay the subscription, but like I said, I really enjoy the print in the magazine. Sometimes I find clippings that will fit into a certain scrapbook, with certain artwork or letters. But if it were printed from the web, it's just not the same.
