I used to look forward to picking up a copy in the dentists/doctors office and seeing if I could read every article and ad before they finally called my name. :angry: :laugh: I just asked my wife if we could use the newer, smaller iPad due to arrive in late October and I guess this would be a change in how I kill time waiting for appointments. I don't usually care to read for a lengthy amount of time on my phone, I just find it too small of a screen, and that's with my glasses on.

Too bad more people will be losing their jobs, but I don't see the tablet market slowing down soon so eventually a lot more magazines I'm used to seeing will be headed towards a digital changeover.

Do a lot of you like to take your iPad, Kindle, or phone on appointments and rather use that to kill time or do you still prefer the printed page?

I use my iPad extensively for work and leisure, but when I read the paper or a magazine on the train during my commute to work, I always prefer a hard copy over an electronic copy. I just like the feel of it...and oddly enough the smell of the newsprint.

I still read the paper when at the firehouse, but read the headlines on the digital version of our local newspaper at home. I like having magazines in the bathroom, it just feels odd to read from an iPad in there.
