Lol, Mice - Small and Tasty!

This is a great idea because I read a good amount of magazines when I am traveling and when I am not, I don't.

Meh. I let them all go ages ago. Between a couple of university affiliations and my Consumer Reports subscription, I get everything I want, and usually for free. Public libraries, especially in major metros like Boston, usually have free online services too.

This whole thing with being charged automatically on your credit card until you cancel bothers me.


Has anybody read about all the complaints from consumers who have had problems stopping that automatic charge even after you have requested them to cancel?


This is the way many companies like to do business (for obvious reasons) now.


Besides, who needs magazines anymore unless it's a really niche subject.

You can get a lot of magazines for $5-7 for a year by just using a magazine price search site.

Netflix is a fantastic resource for movies, but the reason why it works is that you can get the movie, watch it, then give it back. Clutter in, clutter out. Magazines are all clutter after you finish reading them. I'm the kind of person that can go through a thin magazine like Newsweek or Time in about half an hour, even if I read everything. After I'm done, what then? Clutter and I paid more than $1.50 (if there are 3 magazines a month) for the magazine. Plus, most of the content is already online.

How about going to a doctor's office (one who's hip and current) to snag a magazine or two? I know the old joke of the reception area having periodicals dating back to the 1960s, but I've seen some EWs, Redbook, PopSci, Wired pass through the waiting area that are pretty current. All for the cost of your doctor visit co-pay...

Wait a second, this is taking a company until September of 2008 (basically a year from now) to start? What are they doing, writing and printing the magazines themselves??
