Do you still buy and read magazines?

Don't buy magazines, but some come with memberships, eg Wild Magazine, Coffee Magazine, SAIMC publication.
 
Yes. Love it.
Don't mind digital but Popular Mechanics is best in hard copy.
 
I bough PC Format up until it was cancelled, and bought NAG up until it was cancelled. Now I read Gamecca because it is free and online but I still prefer to actually hold real paper in my hands, so most of my books are still actual paper and I still read Car Magazine and Popular Mechanics in printed form. I do buy eBooks and eMagazines but there is still something about actual printed things that I prefer.
 
Nope, I do not buy any magazines... Only used to use ancient magazines for cutting out pictures for school projects in the 90s... before we had dialup internet at home, and a crappy Lexmark Z25 colour printer...

However, that Pick n Pay magazine that comes free when you use your smart shopper card is sometimes what I get... just because it's free and I want to browse through the pictures of what I assume is delicious food.
 
YES, I buy Menshealth every month. I have found that in the times that I am most laziest to go to the gym, just seeing the magazines laying around my apartment seems to do the trick everytime, getting me back in the gym. That's all the motivation I need really.
 
Used to subscribe to Popular Machanics, but now just read online
 
SA Hot Rods and Country Life each month

Occasionally Farmers Weekly or Caravan & Outdoor Life

Used to buy Photography Magazines but their prices just became ridiculous
 
Nope. Last magazine I was subscribed to was CAR. They went pro-VAG so I cancelled. They still bother me wanting to know if I want to renew.
 
I downloaded Maximum PC for a while but haven't for almost a year now. The questions people sent in were nice (hilarious most of the time). YouTube and the odd article from tech sites are a better combination than a magazine that has a month old news in it. Especially for noobs getting into PC's, and how to build one, an YouTube tutorial would be way better than a few pictures.
 
Yes I buy them, and sometimes I even read them.

My favourite, which admitedly I do read, is SAFlyer Magazine.

Brilliant.

It has become the biggest aviation magazine in the World.

I haven't bought print magazines in years. I used to buy a number of digital ones, mainly through Zinio but found I never took the time to read them and have an archive of several years worth of unread magazines. So I stopped buying magazine subscriptions. The closest I have now is a subscription to a single photography web site offering premium, member only magazine like articles without all the advertising that's in magazines. I also download a free digital FujiFilm magazine.
