I am subscribed to the online version of EPE. It works better for me, because I would never be able to keep track of all the issues if they were paper copies, instead I have them all as PDF's. If I need an article on paper, there's always printers :lol:
not to mention, the online subscription is cheap. (like $15 a year if i recall correctly)
and quite frankly, the issues are rather hit-or-miss, so I don't think I'd be subscribing if it cost significantly more than it does. Some issues have "must-have" projects that are really cool and make it worth subscribing, but some issues don't have a single interesting project in them (to me at least).
