Magazines have many uses, their use largely depends on the subject matter therein.

If somebody, for example, is a fan of music, there are a number of titles ranging from magazines looking at classical music, rock music, and pop music, to more in depth magazines that will focus on particular artists or movements in music, sometimes including the written music in the magazines. Some music magazines simply illustrate the collectible items that people are willing to sell, and this could be useful when people are looking for rarities, or to complete collections.
- Magazines provide distractions
Magazines are often kept in doctors' waiting rooms, this is useful simply to pass the time away when waiting for the appointment. Similarly, magazines are a useful accompaniment to a long flight.
