Reading a real magazine indulges the senses and allows us to take some time out, relax and put our feet up and enjoy the visuals, promise and touch of a shiny new magazine.

While I'm at the computer I am happy to read digital magazines where I can also search easily - but when I sit down for a cuppa in my own time with my feet up, I prefer a hard copy magazine or quality book. It depends on the time and place. Often magazines are read and kept for a while for reference, and then given to other people or find their way to medical waiting rooms and the like. The problem with some digital deliveries is that they require you to download yet another program and that gets very frustrating. PDf is my preference too where you can also click through to websites. So, there are benefits in both paper and digital formats. I believe there is a place for both.

My favourite at the moment is <a href="http://www.itib.com.au/" rel="nofollow">In Touch In Business magazine</a>.
