As you no doubt know \"affinitive\" means closely connected and in German \"affin\" is a term used in geometry meaing \"zwei ebene Figuren betreffend, von denen entsprechende Punkte auf parallelen Strahlen liegend; parallelverwandt\"
Thus, \"affinitive\" does work, but it may be a little high-falutin\'

Explanation:
I guess it depends what kinds of products they're talking about.

There are lots of hits for "media-affinity," but is there an adjective for that word? :-)

agree  Dr Andrew Read: I like this best, but more context would be great - in what way is it "medien-affin"? What kind of product?
