And why do the buses and trains require you to buy the tickets? Only to pay the drivers? I thought they ran on some fuel too.
My point was simply this - tech magazines costing at 100-150 INR are difficult to get hold of for many. So whatever LinuxWorld introduces, if it's at 150 INR then it will get the same or a little more coverage than the Digit, PCQ, et al regardless of the content.
I don't disagree. However, I would rather that some people went to libraries[1] (or borrowed from friends) rather than trying to cut down magazine prices by having bad content. Three people buying the magazine and sharing it will reduce your price per subscriber to 1/3 of cost price.
