Would like to hear more about this issue because I also would like to make a subscription. The interface is horrible? Has it improved a little bit?

I have the paper copy. The online version I find difficult to use. Its nice to have sound clips, ( when they work, which is not often) and other problems, I wont be going back to it soon.

Dead tree?

I'm getting tired of this rubbish! Majority of mags these days are made from sustainable sources (as are books).

With people upgrading their outdated or damaged equipment regularly, the environmental impact of laptops/ipads/tablets/phones etc and associated bi products being dumped in landfill is arguably greater than that of printed material. Ever heard of e-waste? Just cos you can't see it don't mean it ain't there.

Not to mention the often horrific conditions those assembling these gadgets work in.

Have your tablet, but don't claim that it's a more ethical choice.

Nothing wrong with hardcopy.
