Do I think it is a little high, personally yes. People will pay it though.
I have never heard of a subscription that worked this way. Can you show any other newspaper/magazine/comic book subscription that charges its subscribers more than the newsstand price?

Especially considering the state of the newspaper/magazine/comic book industries, charging loyal readers a convenience fee seems very unlikely. A screw-up in price (the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing) seems much more plausible than some sort of business strategy.
