Back on topic, I found a good substitute for non-kindle users - Newsstand.com offers subscriptions to various papers, in almost identical 1:1 replication of the originals. They have their own proprietary software for viewing, but with the option to print. So if you have a PDF Printer Driver installed, you can export the entire paper to PDF which will be totally "DRM" free. After installing the software and setting up an account it took me under 3 minutes to download a single issue of the WSJ, and export it to a DRM free PDF. Simply 'download', 'print to PDF' and thats it. Unfortunately they don't have the far superior Financial Times, but still a pretty good selection - NYT, WSJ, Harvard Business Review and the Far Eastern Economic Journal. The WSJ is the Asian edition but in my experience they are almost identical to the US edition except for the advertisements and some other minor changes. Unfortunately they don't offer student discounts as most news publications do so if anyone is interested in spreading the cost of a subscription then I am game  . |
But those PDFs aren't readable on a 6 inch screen. In fact, I find them painful to navigate even on a desktop screen. Indeed, the very idea of trying to replicate a design that is optimized for paper on a computer screen is a bit silly, IMO.
