Change to Alumni Gazette saddens reader

I am saddened by the change to an electronic format for the Alumni Gazette. I find it ironic that you announce this change in the same issue that you celebrate the history of the publication.

 

I usually read the magazine in bed prior to retiring for the night or while commuting to work. Using a laptop in bed or while standing on the subway is simply not feasible. Printing off sections or articles is wasteful and expensive -- not to mention bad for the environment.

 

I fully understand the cost implications; however, until portable reading devices like the Amazon Kindle are affordable and widely available, discontinuing the print edition is simply premature.
