BW is not cheap either.
And as Devdas said if the mag has  content as opposed to fluff, I 
would definetly be a buyer.
I have not subscribed to an Indian mag for several yrs because of the 
abysymal content. Most of it is stupid press releases or superficial 
coverage of technology and markets. Google is far better.
And yes i sorely miss the smell and convienence of paper. Curling up 
in bed with the laptop is a complicated process.
