If you don't buy a magazine in an airport, it is an object that you leave on the coffee table, or in the bathroom. You read an article or two when it arrives or when you bring it home, then you let it lay around until you have enough time or are bored enough to peruse it further. This just isn't going to happen on a tablet. When you pick up a tablet, you have notifications and the web begging for your attention. A stale magazine issue sits quietly behind them.
