People are buying fewer physical goods altogether - see this Bloomberg article. I don't buy any physical books, magazines or newspapers any more; I use Kindle for books and subscribe to the Twitter feed of a range of news sources which I then read via Flipboard. For magazines I subscribe via their Apps and the iTunes store. A tip for those who read sources that impose a limit on the number of articles you can read for free within a time limit. Use "In Private" browsing or a browser such as Epic Privacy and you can read as much as you like (cue for the "Cheap Charlie" accusations)

I do exactly the same thing. Hundreds of books on Kindle and magazines on my Ipad. Can't imagine buyiong a book.
Not yet, Trump put me off twitter. But, I will - thankd.
Your right! Flipboard is amazing.

spoken like a true believer that all you need for a career in "software development" in the Internet age is a few MOOC courses - I mean who needs computer science and software engineering skills when you can develop and distribute your "killer app" on the mobile app stores with a couple of dodgy, insecure and unstable public libraries and a few code snippets from stackoverflow
but yes cdnmatt with his life savings in bitcoin and extensive "whiz" skills should have been able to direct his BF, even with limited English skills, into a suitable career path as a cdnmatt clone
