[QUOTE="Rel, post: 4651380, member: 99"] Well then I think we agree in principle (and I'm sorry it took several posts for me to grasp the essence of what you were saying) though perhaps differ as to degree. As to the topic at hand, I will say that I am an increasingly large fan of the DDI where once I was a strong skeptic. However the magazines are the one area where I find the format to be less useful because of the digital nature. This isn't because of the articles I think will be useful or interesting to me. It's because of the other ones that don't interest me at first. When I'm reading a print magazine I browse through it. When I get to an article I'm clearly interested in then I read the whole thing. When I get to an article that I'm not very interested in, I skim it. But sometimes I see something that draws me in to read a portion of it. And sometimes that prompts me to read the entire thing. That's not really a workable option when I'm just going off of the titles online and deciding which to click on. Nonetheless I view this as a minor annoyance and I'm quite happy with the DDI overall.
