It's true that content is often provided on different platforms, but every other example you gave (website, youtube, magazine) is significantly more broadly accessible. I can view YouTube content on at least three or four major computer platforms, on any of three or four tablet/phone operating systems, and I think on some game consoles. Web site? Same deal, only moreso. Magazine? I don't need a specific gizmo to read it at all. iOS/Android app? That rules out all the computers, Windows Phones, or anything else.I don't know anyone who couldn't read stuff that was done with a web site, youtube video, or magazine format. I know a fair number of people who can't read stuff that requires an iOS or Android app without spending a lot of additional money on hardware.Similarly, with the website, I'd have a really broad range of choices about how to view the content. With the app, I have a much, much, narrower range, and most of them aren't the choices I'd make.For me, anyway, the net effect is that I likely won't end up reading the new Dragon, even though I used to subscribe back when it was a paper magazine.</blockquote>
