As we probably all know by now, motorcycle magazines, the ones that you find in your mailbox, are slowly disappearing. The cost of printing and distributing are high, while the internet offers usually free and fast information. More and more readers are stopping their magazine subscriptions, while the magazines are consolidating.
But there's an alternative. Why not an electronic motorcycle magazine? For example, in The Netherlands, Motorklik  have launched a free electronic magazine. It's not just an electronic copy of a paper version, it's a multimedia magazine, with clickable content, videos and photos. Something that a paper magazine can never offer.
The first issue came out today, and it looks impressive. You can have the magazine take over the whole screen, zoom in, bookmark articles, send stuff to your mates, watch videos that are embedded in the articles, etc. If you've got a notebook or another lightweight portable computer, you could even read your favorite magazine on the "throne" as you would now. The only place you couldn't really read the magazine is in the bath tub.
Very nicely down MotorKlik (Iwan). Congratulations. I know it's not the first electronic magazine, but it's one of the better ones.
Is this the nail in the proverbial coffin for the printed magazines?
