Just wondering how people read an emag (internet based magazine) vs how they would pick up and read a print magazine?, What do you think of Online mags like Adam Wheeler's OnRoad Off Road bi weekly mag and Geoff's Motocross Illustrated or online Cycle News?
Gotta say I tend to skim read a lot more and also selectively choose which pages to open from the underbar, often not bothering to open advert double page spreads.
With a print mag, I will read virtually every page, even the ads, so I would think print mag ads would be a better ROI than online magazines for advertisers?
Also I think online advertisers need to re-look at how they lay out ads, make the content a lot more appealing, than just re-hashing their current campaigns into an online ad, perhaps including video clips to engage the reader etc.
What do you guys think? and girl's? how do you read online and do you see them as two seperate entities.?

Sorry this got posted twice here and in Diana Dahlgren thread.
I always have at least 50 mags in the shithouse, my bed side cabinet is stocked and I just keep rotating them..never get tired of the old mags.
Recently I got a Racex subscription for my Ipad and its not the same. I cannot sit on the crapper with a Ipad and not google Scarlett Johanssen or some other spoonie
So my take is a mag is better, may cost more in the long run but at least you can wipe your arse if you run outta bog-role....
E-mags seem like a fad to me, because they are trying to replicate the print media magazine experience plus a few embedded videos etc... as I understand you need an app on an ipad to view most of them? why not just view a website? That makes more sense to me.
