gummibear Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Hopefully it's not the Tread mag. That thing stinks. I bought one in OR Tambo to read on the plane and the smell of it made me nauseas.
andydude Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Like Eugene said, I like plonking down on my bed with something good to read in book or magazine form. But I'm willing to change. What would the informed hub recommend for a reading tablet that comes closest to the real thing? I've heard the iPad isn't the best, because it's more like a small laptop/computer screen where the Kindle is closer to actually reading a book or magazine. Can you get all titles on both? Both in full colour? What are your experiences?
Pieterg Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Sorry,I like paper and to read my book in bed thats life
splat Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 For starters you can save tree, not that it really matters to the uninformed and in a country that does not even have a postal service reading at least some fresh local news is always good. But then those of you ensconced in your glass and ivory towers will not understand that even if you read filth like Playboy. Because manufacturing an iPad is so environmentally friendly?And the electricity required to charge it and run the interweb it is also?
Danger Dassie Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 You quote my post but refer to other comments made, so i assume your response is directed at me. Firstly....I do not read Playboy, Secondly.....Most magazines are printed on paper that is sourced from sustainable forrest plantations. Thirdly....Referring to me as uninformed is an insultFourthly..I have yet to be failed by out postal system, maybe you have. Every copy of every magazine that I have ever subscribed to has reached my postbox on time.Fifthly...I do not live in a glass or an ivory tower and I am quite aware of enviromental issues You left out the part that an item like an iPad, laptop etc ... Have as much of an impact on the environment as any printed magazines as well. Digital will be eventually be the way forward though.
Tokyo Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) For starters you can save tree I don’t really think that you can save a tree since the trees that are used to make paper are specifically planted for that purpose the trees are cut at a specific age. The only thing you are effect supply and demand thus effecting the amount the farmer is getting for the wood. When the price for paper becomes to low the farmer will probably sell the wood to a competing industry like selling the wood to the build beams for underground coal mines.

Tokyo Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 A lumberjack? LOL not quite but don't give up you have 4 guesses left
'Dale Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Yeah!! AND if you just happen to run out of loo paper...youi can always tear out a page...try THAT with an Ipad??? :lol:
AndreZA Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Yeah!! AND if you just happen to run out of loo paper...youi can always tear out a page...try THAT with an Ipad??? You will probably get an app for that.
BigGuy Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Foxy is on the right trail. What I do know is that the softer woods are used for paper pulp (like at Ngodwana en route to Nelspruit), and the harder woods for mine beams, furniture and so forth. Operating a saw mill is a cut-throat business, strange but true.
Big H* Posted October 28, 2011 Author Posted October 28, 2011 Ah the Hub, I asked if any body has read the new Ride Magazine yet and all I get is a big bunch of ninnies complaining how wrong people are, all clamouring on their own teenie weenie leetle drums, wanting to be heard. Sooooooo, has anybdy read the new Ride Mag yet?

TNT1 Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Hopefully it's not the Tread mag. That thing stinks. It sure does. The actual paper smells like cr@p too...
