Magazines over here are still quite popular in Travel, Gardening, Cooking in waiting rooms, sales still happen off stands in most outlets, although not the selection they once were.
Nothing beats the photography and descriptive writing to get ideas in ones own work, I still hold onto a couple I did enjoy that I have been given along with proper books. Most novels and encyclopedias have been donated out into libraries/old age homes to be enjoyed by many.
Times have changed much, younger folk listen to kindle which does not assist in written words to learn new in spelling nor punctuation. We have to accept the new and roll with it, I still refuse to use spell checkers since we were based on the English way of writing, spell checker picks up American English which is slightly different although I notice many now just accept the change becoming confused with what was taught and quick correction in writings.
Magazines still remain a firm favourite especially with the older folk, the smell of paper, being able to quietly page through and read. Have a wonderful day and weekend.
