I'm not totally convinced that the new magazine formats are a result of reader taste; more like a case of folks reading what's available. The www is headed in the same direction, bits and pieces of information buried amid ad content. Some news sites have become almost unreadable, even with pop-up blockers enabled. I've taken to also turning off JavaScript, which helps, at least on the iPad. Another issue is advertising disguised as content, especially as "news".
Wonder where we'll turn next, when the web becomes too cluttered with crap.
