With the price increase coming, I am thinking of switching my WSJ subscription to my Kindle e-ink. I know auto-delivery will work consistently with that device. I purchased a single copy of the WSJ on the Kindle to do a side-by-side comparison with the Sony version. The first thing I noticed is that the Kindle version has more photos in each article. The article content is similar, but they are organized in a different order. However, the Sony formatting is much cleaner and prettier. I prefer it to the Kindle edition.
On the other hand, with the Kindle edition I can get all of the following items for $18.29:
That's sweet! Access on multiple devices (like my new Kindle Fire and iPhone) and to WSJ.com. I assume that the price is also probably going to increase for the Kindle version in the new year. So right now I am in a holding pattern.

Regarding the WSJ, I have decided to get a print subscription - it's only $120 a year (well, that's the "80% discount", but it's easy to find that offer, see:
http://wallstreetsubscriptionz.com/w...scription.html). That allows access to the iPad version, which is delivered on time, updated during the day and has some extra features, such as articles from the European and Asian editions, video, etc.). I don't really mind reading it on the iPad, and I will keep the FT on SONY.
Regarding missed issues, I am puzzled by the fact you don't seem to have problems recently. There have been multiple instances in which I was not able to find the issue even on SONY's store - wonder if I am doing something wrong. I am not at work now, but I'll try to dig some specific examples. It's more common with the FT, but it happens with WSJ as well.
