I prefer reading the old fashioned way. As much as I confess being a techie but digital reading really isn’t for me. I tried but I ended up not reading the e-books and magazines, only wasting the dollars I spent.
And for this month and the last, I have this pile of magazines unread. I have read only a few pages but I wish I could have the luxury to sit and read them. All I need is an hour or two. I guess I just have to bring them with me on the plane. We’ll see.
What local magazines do I read? Smart Parenting, Real Living, Metro Home, Working Mom, Food, YES, Star Studio, and the newly launched ELLE Decor Philippines.
I don’t buy all magazines each month. I only buy if I want to read a special feature or if I like who’s on the cover. My must-buy though is Real Living magazine. The Smart Parenting, I subscribed on Zinio but I don’t get to read them anymore. :/
How about you? Which mode of reading do you prefer? Do you prefer to read your books or magazines electronically or have the actual reading material in your hand?
I, too am guilty of the same. I have loads of magazines unread and I prefer hard copy and not the digital ones.
I have hard copies of magazines since I write for one and I also appreciate the hard copy over the digital ones.
cool! what magazine?
I’ve come to embrace the eBook market with my Kindle and I find that I actually read faster (and thus read more) with the aid of my eReader. But of course it’s not the same for everyone.
I can comfortably read on both medium. I still buy books and also download ebooks. But lately, I can’t properly use my Kindle anymore because my toddler keeps on grabbing it whenever she sees me using it.
That’s sooo me 2 years ago! Haha. My ex and I were into collecting magazines (Elle, Vogue, etc.) until we broke up. And I must say, we barely read every article on it, although I do whenever I get free time. Right now, all I buy in mag stands is Garage. Everything else, I get/read online which by the way are free (or at least I wait until they post it to free reading) like status mag and Esquire. LOL! ^_^
The ONLY magazines I have at home are IKEA and H&M…which, are all FREEbies, hahaha!
Hi, Ate Reah!
Definitely, definitely I am a (wo)man who has pledged allegiance to reading the printed word. I love my books – the smell of the paper, the texture of that crisp page, the beauty of having to physically highlight/underline a beautiful phrase or two, and the wonders of having to scribble down on a sticky note to place on a thought-provoking page. There’s just nothing to it but the wonders of being surrounded by paper. However, I read my comicbooks on the iPad because well, they’re cheaper. They’re easier to download than to scavenge and buy. 🙂 I guess, as I’d like to think of it, a traditional read suggests a traditional reading as a contemporary read suggests a contemporary reading. 🙂
