and I don't really remember when they started their demise. The interesting thing is that the last few times I've picked up a Time magazine in a doctor's office, I swear it has about one-fourth as many pages as it used to. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Time quits publishing a paper magazine and goes web-based only.

As to the e-reader...We have a cabin in northern Minnesota. We were up there and my brother's buddy was with us. He had been drinking (well, we all were) and Mike was laying on the couch reading. He was trying to enlarge the font so he could read better. He's poking away and poking away in his efforts to make the type larger, and my brother finally told him, "Mike, you're reading a paperback. Your Kindle is on the table."
