I just received my last copy of PC Magazine. I had no idea this was coming. A little note came with the magazine saying this would be the last printed issue. I’m a bit sad, as I’ve subscribed to PC Magazine for about 20 years. It is the one magazine that I read cover to cover, and I have learned so much from this magazine. PC Magazine is not going away; the owners have decided to go completely digital.
I suppose this should not come as a surprise for a tech magazine to go digital, since digital will be the future for magazines and newspapers, and eventually books as well. From what I’ve read online, the company is making most of its money with online revenue and will save money by dropping the print version. And of course, this is obviously a good decision for the environment.
But I will miss the printed issue. I sit in front of a computer for too many hours a day already, and I enjoy reading my magazines in bed. I guess I will eventually have to get a digital reader like Amazon’s Kindle
