Hey guys,

I was thinking of subscribing to a newspaper and was looking for some advice. I no longer subscribe to a physical copy so I could definitely use one but it seems a bit expensive. I was considering the NY Times which is more expensive than most (19.99/mo), the washington post which is relatively cheaper (9.99.mo), the globe and mail (14.95/mo) and the national post (14.99/mo).

If anyone can share their experience with any of these papers, or just the Kobo newspaper experience in general, I would greatly appreciate it. I would also like to find out if you guys think if its worth the price tag.

One more thing, on the kobo website the national post has customer rating of 3 out of 5 (used to be worse I think) where others have 4 or 5, does anyone know why it has such bad reviews? (is there something wrong with it on kobo or are people just not liking the paper itself)

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Also curious if anyone subscribes to more than one paper because I prefer the washington post or the new york times but would need the G&M or natl post for Canadian news
