No e- subscription for me! For the same reason as others – I want to take it along – read it in bed, save a backlog for when we’re traveling – there’s always one in my bag for times I need to wait. And then, when they’re absolutely tattered, I cut them up and file the articles with others of the same type. I spend more than enough time on the computer every day – I don’t need to get my magazines there too.

I would have no problem with an e-magazine. Less paper I have to recycle. No storage issues, either.

The Memory Makers bookclub is HORRIBLE. Horrid customer service. SOOO not worth the trouble. You couldn’t PAY ME to sign up for that again.

I hear yah that a scrap page just doesn’t quite connect with me when viewing on the iPhone. I take scrap mags to bed and read a few pages before I turn off the light. I read them in the car. I’ve taken them to hockey games to read between periods. Not something I can do with an e-zine so no, I wouldn’t pay.
As for Scrapbook Update…I consider it more of a news source, something I check every few days (as I check many “news” type sources) so it’s in a different niche to me than a standard e-zine.

Hmmm. I had stopped subbing until they did there most recent revamp a couple of years ago as the magazine was feeling dull and uninspiring. The revamp brought me back and when my sub was ending a month ago, I resubbed for 2 years. (I think I paid $17) I hope my money was well spent!!! It was the first time I was able to get a 2 for 1 deal from them. They generally are on the pricier side when compared to Scrapbooks Etc. and CK, which I have been able to get 2 years for 1 for a while now.
As an aside, I did sub to Mary Englebriet’s Home Companion which was amazing and provided a variety of inpiration and then suddenly it stopped coming and I started receiving Martha Stewart Living until the end of my sub!!!!
BTW-I enjoyed your interview!!! Keep it coming!
