I agree that mags are dying. I think it has less to do with energy and more to do with the fact that mags are expensive, and younger people are not wanting to pay for them since they can get much of the same info from the net. This, in turn is causing the price to increase for the ones of us (myself included) who do subscribe -- and around and around the cycle goes.
I do, like the article suggested, think we should have the opportunity to download the whole mag in PDF and subscribe with a debit/credit card. I would do it to keep the two big ones alive. My $.02
