I read every single word of every issue (I'm a subscriber).
Some have commented that they don't read the reviews of gear out of their price range but, even though I may not be able to afford whatever is being reviewed, I'm intrigued and fascinated by the technology that may well start in the more expensive cameras but have a good chance of trickling down to equipment that's more in the price range of the amateur.

I read "Inbox" and "TechSupport" first, then gradually work my way through the rest of the magazine. I am unlikely to read in full a test report on an expensive camera or lens which is way out of my price range, but may skim through it.
I not only read AP cover to cover, I read it over and over, and keep dipping back into it. I have learned VAST amounts from it over the years (I'm a subscriber), and when I see something of interest, I highlight it in red and tear out the page(s) for future reference.

I voted ‘The majority of the issue’, although I sometimes skip the reviews of very expensive camera bodies and lenses, and suspect the magazine often ignores the ‘Amateur’ in its title. Perhaps we need to discuss what 'amateur' and ‘expensive’ mean today.
