Tylka,

I don't believe that this was mentioned, but it is rather important to
consider format when deciding whether or not to go with online only.  For
example, will the online version still contain colour
photos/illustrations?  Will you still receive any special inserts?  Are
the articles available in PDF format, or HTML only?  The degree of
importance in this realm varies for subject matter, however it is still
worth noting.  You may also want to investigate the speed at which you
will receive the latest issues.  Some publishers have been known to
withhold online access in favour of maintaining print subscriptions
(otherwise known as an "embargo").  Good luck!
