I also enjoyed the high quality of the print version of Double Gun Journal, and still enjoy re-reading copies from my collection. It wasn't ever the cheapest magazine, but I felt it was worth it.
On the other hand, I have had digital access to the American Rifleman for years, and seldom look at it. I still prefer the print version. I could be wrong, but if the print version of DGJ couldn't survive, I don't think a $90.00 per year digital version is going to do well.
I'm also curious about the format subscribers will receive. Pretty much anything that can be saved can also be passed along to non-subscribers. Copyright protection is not going to prevent sharing. What is going to prevent guys from sharing the passwords or access codes to Digital DGJ the same way people shared Netflix accounts?
