I would LOVE to have all magazines digital, I talk to the Zino folks about ever six months. http://www.zinio.com/home?ns=usa
Once they get the articles so they can be saved I will stop all paper subscriptions.

I would also like the same feature from a book, saving the paragraphs or chapters I want to keep for an archive on a particular subject. One day.....
