I covered that...

But the quality of the images in the paper version is bound to be better, since a paper magazine page is larger than the screen on one of those things and printing can be done at much higher resolution as well. (Granted there exist magazines whose print quality has gone down the pan since their ipad version came out, but I can't see NG being so cheap-ass as that.) If by "rich media" you mean videos, videos are way down in my rating scale of good ways to receive information... text is much better at providing detailed descriptions, still photos and diagrams are much better at representing the physical form of things, and when you want to check back on something that came earlier it is enormously easier to just look at a different place on the page than to mess about trying to seek a video to the right spot.
