Are Anthologies The New Magazines?

2 Jul 2009

With the news that Talebones is closing as a magazine and opening as an anthology, it got me wondering:

Are anthologies the new magazines?

There seems to me to be a resurgence in anthologies and single author story collections. Is it now more economical to publish a book than a magazine, even if the book is limited edition? Would readers rather read books than magazines when it comes to short fiction?
