I picked up one to browse through at the bookstore yesterday and Wowzer !!!! It's the size of a pamphlet now - much shorter and very much thinner.

1. in general
the print magazine business is hurting. They are going to have to overhaul their business model if they want to survive.

2. They changed over in mid-2009.
Reader reviews of it were mixed, as I recall, but cost was a factor.
