Awesome to see you back DCP!
I know I am a youngster in my early 30's. But I would not read a physical magazine if someone else paid for it. Online or nothing. That said I probably would not read a magazine to begin with. I have never really been able to get into them. I am glad it is going digital.

and we can play pool on line as well. no sense having that outdated place called a pool room. or even a bar when you can drink at home while playing pool there.

The notice from Pool&Billiard says "Print Copies Suspended Due to COVID-19." Also "Print subscribers will have their subscriptions extended for all monthly print issues that are missed."
So it is not presented as a permanent elimination of print issues. But the magazine has shrunk -- just 32 pages in most of the issues over the past year. We'll have to wait and see whether they return to print issues at some point.
I think there are two letters from P&B. The one I got late last week says no more paper copy, online only.
Hmmm; my notice arrived at least 3 weeks ago.
Print mags require a large readership to cover cost. Printing and shipping prices have gotten high. For a small publication on-line is about the only way to survive. Not much happens in pool on a good day and with the 'rona doing its damage there's really no choice. I prefer books/mags myself but i get the economics.I just opened and read the letter from P&B Magazine. The magazine is no more? From now on out its only an online magazine?

Yes, there are indeed two letters from P&B. I have them right in front of me. The latest one I have was postmarked 13 May and it says no more paper copy, online only.

Chicken or the egg deal. Without a large readership base who would want to advertise? Much cheaper to go on-line. I've got a friend who's written three books and all were e-published. His cost was next to nothing compared to a print book.It's not the subscription fees that magazines need, it is the advertising fees. What killed all the poker magazines was Black Friday and the subsequent loss of advertisers.
