I was just on Amazon reviewing my wish list and looked at the Outdoor Photographer listing. I have been subscribing through Amazon on automatic renewal status. This time the listing said that Amazon didn't know when or if the magazine will be available in paper format. But it still lists a Kindle edition at an annual rate. Is this just Amazon or is Outdoor Photographer no longer going to be available in a paper magazine?

I didn't renew my subscription when it expired a few months ago. Just this past Friday I got a subscription off in the mail. Just checked their website and the print edition is still being offered.

That is the only paper photography magazine version left that I receive through prescription, I would hate to see it go too. I have not heard anything from them, stating that they will do thins, I keep my fingers crossed!

I have been an Outdoor Photographer subscriber for many years, I still get the magazine delivered to the house. The magazine has gotten thinner and I can't say how much longer it will be in print.

Thanks for all the replies. My all time favorite magazine, Photo Techniques, bit the dust several years ago. As have most of the others I enjoyed. I still have some of the old large Shutterbug magazines that had all the individual camera ads in the back. Where we looked every month for new and used gear. Before the internet sites. Lots of in-depth and useful articles too. Guess you can tell I am a veteran (read, older) photographer.

Photography, n. (1839). From photos (Gk. ϕοτοσ), light, and graphos (Gk. γραοσ), writing, drawing, or painting.

I’m still getting the print version but canceled the auto renew. The magazine is a shell of its former self.
It’s basically one big add.

Just last week they sent me a subscription renewal notice for the annual cost of $11.00 but I'm going to let it expire.

I no longer subscribe to any photo mags, seem to me they just repeat articles every couple of years , except for trying to get you to upgrade your equipment, I did try a digital format magazine and found it unsatisfying, now I read a lot of books, mysteries , on my nook and tablet but magazines just don't work for me as digital, hope they do not do away with print editions, I do sometimes browse magazines in B&N, just no desire to fill the house with them anymore.

Did your medical insurance cover it?

I just placed a gift order for my daughter (who's just getting started and likes to shoot when she goes hiking) for the print edition a couple weeks ago, and it seemed to go fine.

Reading magazines (especially photography magazines)
on-line is just not the same experience. And displaying an
image file on a computer montior is not the same as viewing
an actual print (or even a lithograph made from a print).
I doubt that Outdoor Photography will flourish
on-line (very few publications have). How many
magazines and newspapers have already switched to
on-line distribution, and gone out of business?
It's amazing that no clever marketing person has come up
with a better solution. But there's a tendency in our
society to regard the depredations inflicted technology as
inevitable: "because we can, we must".

Did the doctor tell you to read it - prescription?
