Electronic Reading Devices: E-Readers’ Effect on Print

Magazines cannot compete with electronic alternatives in terms of delivery speed and the news. Celebrity gossip magazines like People still thrive despite online access to information, Husni says, and it's not just a function of paid advertising.

"In my view, what everybody is missing is that magazines are more than reading material; they're an experience," Husni stresses. "If we boil this experience down to reading, then we have no future. Why do people pick up 1.7 million copies of Cosmopolitan every month? Just to read about sex? There's plenty about sex on the Internet." PI
