WILL IPAD KILL OFF THE PRINT MAGAZINE?!

I love print media; I can't imagine life without the smell of the paper, the way it feels in your hands, on your fingers. Most of the fashion magazines I buy or subscribe to are either over-sized or collectible. How can one possibly dig up a ten-year old issue of Vogue Italia on an iPad? Or get the full-throttle rush of a fabulous fashion spread on 12"x6" glossy paper? Stylenoir thinks the whole idea is rubbish, while more tech-driven websites are confirming the certain death of publishing as we know it. What do you think? Do you or anyone you know already own an iPad, and if so, would you consider magazines obsolete?
