I recently started scaling back my reading online, and subscribing to a newspaper and a bunch of magazines. I went searching for Quanta in print and was disappointed to find nothing. Honestly it's improved my mood, focus and comprehension, and given me many more opportunities to start conversations and share with my family and friends, especially kids. I'm sure it's possible to schedule reading time on a device with a screen and go and sit on a park bench and relax, but I've never been able to do it without distractions. Plus I've really enjoyed getting into cryptic crosswords again, and having puzzle pullouts in the paper is a guilt-free activity I can pressgang the children into.
That said, I've really enjoyed New Scientist. It's not as deep or esoteric as Quanta but still satisfying for a layman like me.
