If I understand this correctly, it would mean that if I subscribed to the New York Times, I would have not be able to access any issue older than 7 days if I deleted it from my Kindle. Is it possible to backup subscription content to my computer? What's the reasoning behind only making the 7 most recent issues available for redownload?

Sorry, I'm new to the Kindle world and did not notice this clause in my research.

I wanted to update my reply to you. It seems there has been a change on keeping old newspaper issues. I found this deep in the online help file. Now you really have to back up regularly.

Quote:
Keeping Subscription Content

Older issues of newspapers and magazines appear inside a grouping called "Periodicals: Back Issues." Selecting the grouping takes you to a screen that displays the back issues you have on your Kindle.

Kindle automatically deletes issues that are more than seven issues old to free up space for new content. An exclamation point next to an issue indicates that it will be deleted within 48 hours. If you'd like to keep a copy of an issue, you need to adjust the settings for each issue you wish to keep.
To keep a back issue:

1. Open the specific issue from the Kindle Home screen.
2. Press the Menu button and select "Keep This Issue."

You will then see the word "keep" to the left of the issue title in Home.
