Just not off computer screens. This, of course, depends on the situation. Subscriptions can be read while in bed nestled between pillows and underneath a comforter, or soaking in the bathtub, with rubber ducks and bath bubbles to keep company. They provide a means to pass time when waiting in a doctor's office. Subscriptions can be read, then passed onto kids to use for their school collages or other projects.
Subscriptions are a great to get in the mail.
I remember reading a few years back. I like taking advantage of both worlds. If I'm reading, I prefer subscriptions. If I'm out of money, or I want to do some research quickly, then I opt for websites.
