This seems like a very personal difference (on top of generational trends).
I read physical things, sometimes a decade later (Tokana!), but eventually,
because they are around in my space getting in my face.  I am afraid many
many downloads, on the other hand, just drop into the black hole of my home
directory ecosystem, or even get downloaded multiple times when I don't
recognize them!  (And if not downloaded, they hang out on the ever-
increasing line of tabs in my browser until it crashes.)

So I am waving the flag for physical copies, and plan to order one.  Better
still for me are dead-tree subscriptions, that show up magically in the
mailbox and make my day.  I can only dream about a world with conlang
dead-tree subscriptions.  (Would it be monthly?  Have a crossword?  Or
would every issue feature a Relay-like text to decipher yourself?)
