Not in my European country at least. I haven't see a magazine with CD-ROM in years. And most people don't have a cd-dom reader anymore

Here are a couple for you,
The argument isn’t that they don’t exist or are not published, it’s that they are not published widely.
Given that the circulation for Linuxformat was just 19,000 in 2014, it seems that that number backs up the position that you wouldn’t find this at a street level vendor.
I would call most shopping mall surfaces and train station newstands, street level.
And what do you suppose is the ratio between train stations + shopping malls vs actual street level tobacco and magazine stands/shops is in most European countries? 1 to 700? 1 to 1000?
Any way, the whole argument is redundant. Go head to your nearest newsagent and see if they stock it. If you live on top of a train station or a supermarket then you’re due both congratulations and commiserations.
For everyone else… you can’t buy them at your nearest kiosk.
Plenty of people can buy them, even at my tiny town back home, that is a little more than "everyone else".
