Print restrictions? Let's talk about side-by-side articles, bundling commentary essays with the main feature, boxed info and the whole shebang of stuff that just doesn't seem to work on the internet (and I sorta doubt it will work on tablets, but I'll give it a try). It's stuff that's basically possible thanks to two things: the magazine and broadsheet formats, and extensive editing.
Just because Internet is modern doesn't mean it doesn't come with restrictions of it's own. Even automated syndication things like Flipboard managed to emulate the look of a magazine, but not the feature that is editing and selection of content by someone competent, but who you only sort-of agree with.
