I read the New Yorker on my Kindle. It's very well written, and covers topics I wouldn't normally read up on. Well-researched, and thorough. Only risk is that sometimes I get too into the articles and miss my stop, but that's a reasonable trade off :) I can usually finish an issue before the week's up, so I keep a bunch of other books on there as well that I'll pick at as well. I've tried writing / sketching before, but it's difficult given the shakes and turns of the subway (a little easier if you can get a seat, but that can be tough as well). I've also tried podcasts / audiobooks, but the subway is a noisy place (announcements, train sounds) and it can be hard to catch all the words. Rewinding to catch things I missed is just too annoying.
