I'd buy it if I'm getting on a plane. Other than that, I just read their website.

Yeah, that's the key thing: in comparison to the print product, it's attractive to me.
But if I can get the info I'm looking for from their free no-storage website (and 30 seconds later bounce to another website, as we web folks are wont to do), it's really hard for me to get motivated to remember to go buy a $4.99 1 GB (500 MB on my iPad, 500 MB on my Mac where iTunes lives) app every month.
How can they successfully compete with themselves? And yet they can't shut off their free website and become utterly irrelevant.
