I have to pay $150 or so a year for my online access to the WSJ. Since Murdoch can keep all the money collecting directly from online subscribers, I can't blame him with the loss he takes when Amazon sells the same subscription for a comparable price but keeps a big chunk of the subscription price.
The situtation is very different for online editions where the entire paper is available for free on the internet. The only reason customers would pay Amazon for such papers is because of Amazon's delivery method. For me, I just get all the daily papers I can handle from Calibre using RSS feeds. Because I have a WSJ subscription, Calibre is able to convert the feed for my DX as well.
BTW, the WSJ has a mobile edition for phones that works just fine on the DX browser.
