    I also prefer reading something solid but the reality is that print is getting bloody expensive and the hysteria after March 15 saw hunting magazines withdrawn from sale by booksellers virtue signalling all added up to putting the nail in the coffin. Add to that the loss of publications and printing firms due to "covid" and the opportunities for a small circulation magazine catering to a specific market to grow via normal channels and it's not surprising it's a digital platform now.
    I suspect there will be plenty more going that way or disappearing.
