In some aspects, like a newspaper, I would be more receptive to digital media over its paper form, since I don't read the paper that often to justify having a subscription for the whole thing, so for a small fee I could access all the articles I would care to read. Since I do most of my news reading online, I would be inclined towards that sort of system.
In other aspects, I am not completely for the idea that we will see a total conversion away from hard, paper media form, and it will still serve a significant proportion of how we interact with words in the future. Like Deni, I still like the tactile interaction with printed media. For example, I am currently collecting older National Geographic magazines. Although I could simply shell out the $60 for the complete digital archives and leave it at that, I much prefer looking at the physical copies themselves.
Personally, nothing beats books and other printed media for their ability to have total random access. You simply leaf through it to find things you seek for or leave a bookmark for later reading.
