What exactly do you mean when you say "there's nothing like reading something on actual paper, the internet can't compare"? I have never understood your attachment to the material you get the information from. Isn't the information the only thing that matters?
I mean, isn't a tablet SO much more convenient and easy to use than a book, and with a much higher data ratio per square inch? For my part, paper dries out my hands. I've been looking forward to the digital evolution of reading for decades now and its finally here. I won't have people like you bemoaning something like this unless you give me SOME logic behind it. I mean, isn't my picture of what could change for the magazine a great one? Secondly, would you have been the sort of person who thought the printing press would destroy the value of writing?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
