Re: Online magazines vs print

Hi,

Has there been any more discussion on this issue.  I'm also interested in
this topic.  I see that some posted articles concerning writing in print vs.
the web, which is useful.  But the issue concerning the "experience" of
reading a magazine also seems to come up.  Do people like the animate "page
turning" format, where the online edition looks and acts exactly like the
print?  Or do they expect something that feels more like a news site?  Or
does it depend entirely on the magazine's topic.  I'd like to hear what
others know about this.
