The modern man is always on the go. We don’t have the time or the room to lug around a copy of Tolstoy’s “War and Peace” in our Jack Spade’s. The magazine has not replaced the great literary works of this century, but it has certainly captured a disposable following. When I leave my apartment for the uptown R train, there is nothing like opening a magazine for a crash course in life before I hit the office. I can learn how to hot wire a car, fix my slice, and hack my iPod all before my first cup of coffee.
Only suckers pay full price. With your typical guys magazine going for an average of 4 bucks on the street, the only way to get your daily dose is to hit the internet looking for a bargain. There are lots of sites out there to choose from, but I am particularly fond of BigMags.com. I logged on the other day to take advantage of the “5 magazines for 1 year” offer at a measly $29.95 (Maxim, Entrepreneur, Wired, Golf Illustrated, and Traveler). You can hardly walk out of Barnes and Noble these days for 50 cents an issue, you won’t feel so bad leaving a copy behind in the john.

Free, or next to free mags are always better, think you would ever pay full price?
