I certainly would retain the physical magazine, that goes without saying, but I would certainly pay to have back issues in digital format on a year by year basis, perhaps something to consider similar to the way NG&SLG has produced a DVD.?
That way at least you are adding to the catalogue, and producing something that might only need to be in a single desktop/tablet format, rather than something that needed, as you say, considerably more work to lay out.

Roy and I have been deliberating over this for some years. There are some substantial costs involved to ensure correct copyright protection. Digital?editions really require a different layout to support small devices which means double the production effort. And having a digital edition is likely to reduce, rather than supplement,?the paper distribution to the point it becomes unviable. And we have had many people stating they prefer the paper as evidenced here.
@Brian - we do have a searchable digital index here:?
