This is brilliant idea, well executed, and god darn it's using some pretty art. It's a shame reading it from a pdf though, and the print on demand options are quite pricey. I'd gladly subscribe to get this kind of thing in the mail though.
Mailed printed subscriptions for a decent price are somewhere on our TODO list. First we want to make it available for free on more events (like conferences, demoparties, etc).
The reading experience on screen is worse than paper normally, but manageable. But when it comes to such pretty artwork and design, there is just something special about having it in physical touchable paper that makes a massive difference.
There is also the casual nature of reading a physical newspaper. On a screen i feel pressured to consume it all in one sitting, or i'll forget it and read something else next time. But with a printed copy, i can put it on the coffee table to read bit by bit over a few days, or just admire the design while relaxing.
