Wow. I have not owned a printer since 2012 and I think I’m gonna go buy one next weekend. I too hate reading on the computer.
Have you tried e-ink? I have an old kindle for reading. It's fantastic.
I have not. Is it gonna hurt my eyes? That’s really my primary concern right now. Cheers.

I've found that it doesn't hurt. You're not looking at a light source but reflected light. Like you do with a printed page. I find it is much better on the eyes.

#54I'm in the UK, and I subscribe to two weekly publications: Private Eye and MCN. Private Eye is a hardcore investigative-journalism outlet, arguably unique in the country.

#55Yes, just one monthly because the website is subscription based and the digital only price wasn't much different. Originally it was a print magazine. It takes about 3 weeks for me to read it, I like this pace and the magazine's sit on my coffee table. I was tempted by another which was behind a paywall recently. Maybe the Economist. I've a couple of quarterly magazines too, these are literary or niche publications wh…
Wait so what’s the print magazine you do subscribe to?
Re: Ask HN: Do you subscribe to print magazines anymore?
#56Yes, lots of them. I hate reading on the screen, enough that I own a color laser printer more or less just to print articles that I want to read that are online. But for the most part, I find articles in print magazines to be far superior over what is online: better moderated, more interesting, better written, etc. This probably isn't a complete list, but I pay for: THE NEW YORKER, BUSINESS WEEK, THE ATLANTIC, TIME,…
Yes! Because I too hate reading on screen, and like coverlcock, also purchased a printer just to print out the essays that seem interesting at a glance. Also, if anyone wants to build a social network that allows trusted friends to send articles (images removed, reader versions with good typography) directly to your printer, let me know. I'd love to work on this with someone. https://www.thenewatlantis.com (highly re…
@blueridge Seeing if this will reach across cyberspace this late into a thread, but my contact is in my profile. I'd be curious about chatting more re. this concept. :)
