I don't know about everyone else, but I hate trying to read long articles on my monitor. Just not a comfortable long-term position for me. Of course, I could just print stuff out and kill less trees.

Hmm...
Subscriptions:

Car & Driver
U.S. News and World Report
Consumer Reports
PC Gamer

I used to read/subscribe to:

Dragon
Wizard
Toyfare
Bike

but I got too much to read already. I'm really just waiting for all my subscriptions to expire--except for CR and PC Gamer(my wife reads this, but it's in my name and I flip through it occasionally).

damn right, online articles are not nearly as good as reading it from a magazine. I guess I'm old fashioned. Plus it seems like a lot of them are poorly written or not quite up too par.

Larger publications:
National Geographic

DIY/self-released zines:
HeartattaCk
America?
Whole World Reads/Letters from Brothers/anything else this guy does

Yeah, I think part of it is being used to reading books/magazines made of paper in the first place. Of course, it takes less work(not to mention less vetting) for some websites to publish articles/editorials and have millions(or at least dozens) of people see it rather than having material printed and bound.

My only subscription right now is Pro Cycling. I like it a lot more than some of the other biking related mags. I got really fed up with some of them who just recycle old articles every few months ("GET STRONGER LEGS", "BE READY FOR SUMMER" etc...)

I used to subscribe to Mountain Bike Action, then I got a $3,000 Giant and figured there was no longer a need to drool over expensive bikes I didn't have but wanted.

Giant Robot (good recipes, decent reading/movie recommendations, great articles! fun!! eye candy galore - I really like it)

sometimes, rarely, Velonews.

*nothing else follows*

Only 1 magazine....
1. Street Commodores (Cars) So yeah car magazines..

I don't read much.

Damn right. Not that I care particularly about trees, but magazines are too heavily laden with ads, and I try to avoid them if I can. Paying for them is utterly absurd.

As for the writing quality of online articles, I don't think they're any better or worse than most magazines.

And as for reading in the head - there are types of reading material other than magazines. I prefer sci-fi novels.

The only time I'll buy a magazine is if it has a cover disc with something I want on it. That's very rare.

Subscribe to Nat'l Geographic.
