I still get the Boston Globe in paper because I like scanning through the ads...specifically shows that are going on-sale and occasionally the sales. I once tried canceling all but my Sunday subscription thinking I could just get the daily news on the internet, but I missed my paper.

I don't like reading newspapers (or magazines) on the Kindle. I find it too time consuming because the navigation is more linear and having to keep going back to the TOC is a pain. Whereas, I flip back/forth and scan a lot between headlines/sections. I probably actually read only about a half-dozen or so articles in full each day.

I do like getting the New York Times - Latest Updates...because its just a handful of top stories to supplement my local paper. I still find the navigation is less than ideal if I want to move back/forth, but its small enough to go through without doing that.
