Most of my reading happen on a train, airplane, vacation, or weekend mornings with a cup of coffee. Usually armed with a non-fiction book and a few magazines. I’ve always found it difficult to pick one magazine to subscribe to, which meant I was always picking a few by mood at newsstands costing more than if I had signed up for a year subscription.
Maghound was recently released as a la carte solution for magazines, similar to NetFlix. You can chose your magazines for the month, pay a flat fee regardless of the magazine, and tweak your selection as you go.
