I have subscribed to the "on-line" version of Consumer Reports for years. I often wonder why my subscription costs as much as the paper version that has to be mailed, etc. The on-line version has few to none illustrations of what is being rated. It would also be helpful if they would send an e-mail reminder each month when a new issue has been released. I do use it when I am about to make a purchase. However, I do not like being solictited for donations when they send out their "lottery" tickets. I do not usually participate in the drawing.
