am i the only one that thinks this is so? i was paying for the subscriptions on kindle, but recently stopped. the NYT and WSJ web sites come up as the PDA versions on the kindle, and layout very well, and quickly- as good as the paid subs. they are just as easy to read and navigate as the paid subscription.

the NYT web version has the full sunday magazine, and book review too. and, i like the way the pics come out better than the paid sub.

so i'm wondering why people are paying for the subs, when the web based (pda versions) are so good.

i'm interested in comments from people who have compared the two too (pun intended!) cheers. "

Here are the links
