It Is Finished: The New Yorker iPad App Is The Beginning Of The End Of Print

I'm a die-hard paper fan. I have a few shelves of books in almost every room of the house and I love taking a stack of magazines or newspapers on a plane - this is so ingrained in my psyche that I actually save magazines a few weeks before a long trip so I have something to read. But slowly, ever so slowly, this love of paper is leaving me. First I abandoned print journalism for the bare-knuckle punch-fest that is blogging and then I stopped reading print books and instead took up the Kindle then the iPad. I literally have not cracked a paperback or hardback for a full, long read in more than a year. I'm not writing this to prove my early adopter cred but because the thought amazes me. I still read the NY Times in dead-tree form and, although for a little while I thought The Daily would be the future of daily news, I think I'll stick with the paper version for a few more months, at least until I wrap my head around the psychological process of reading general daily news online. But the one thing I thought I'd never do was abandon my magazine habit.
