RE: Print-zines, E-zines, size, policies, etc.

I think that's a cogent analysis. Part of it I think has to do with how people typically approach web content, e.g., through search engines. That makes it less likely that someone will become a regular reader -- someone who leafs through each issue to see and read what's of interest. The asynchronous mode of publication, with new content appearing constantly, also tells against that kind of systematic readership.

But that's a generalization, I wouldn't say "never." Some web sites do have dedicated readers, by virtue of being early, or being best. If their content is unique by virtue of quality or utility or coverage, they might be able to pull it off. Which I think is again analogous to JA's point about the kind of print publication that prospers in the current difficult environment.
