This screed has entertainment value but nothing else.

One could very well want electronic and hard copies of a publication for different reasons. You can’t instantly word search the dead tree, and it requires awkward maneuvers to scrutinize finely detailed pictures in the e-magazine.

Even if the goal is to humanly read the whole thing as fast as possible, the e-magazine could feasibly download while it is being read, making the delay moot.
