Yes, but as Jerry intimated, one simply cannot take one's computer into the
men's room.

but people likely spend 10x as much time reading from a computer
screen than reading from paper.  My guess is magazine publishers would
get more readership if their stuff was accessible in small chunks,
linked to from message boards like this one.

It is probably also most important that the advertiser gets the page
views that they want. An ad in a magazine cant be clicked on like an
online ad can.
