I personally would prefer to pay a few dollars extra each month and get a
print edition as well.  I read my magazine in the train/coffee shop and make
notes on it.  Come back to them later, add more notes, etc.  Sure, that's
last century behaviour, but was there some interaction with subscribers to
see what they preferred?

Great magazine, and I really appreciate the effort that goes into it.
