It's absolutely true, but pretty sad considering that one can just click on a banner ad and begin the buying process while a print ad reader is at least a few steps away from making a purchase. Of course, there's also a lot to be said of a full-page glossy ad that captures your attention while your reading at your leisure. That's why it's necessary to have a mix of media.
