The two things that attract me about this device are access to B&N and partnership with Newspapers Direct, which, according to the
New York Times article, is "a service that offers more than 1,100 papers and presents them onscreen largely as they appear in print."
If the device will give me access to the
New York Times and
The Economist, but in an e version of their p form, I am likely to buy it.
EDIT: I just checked the Newspapers Direct website (
www.newspaperdirect.com), and it does offer the
New York Times but not a e version of today's p version. I'll need to check this out further, but I'm not interested in getting a replay of the paper's website.
EDIT 2: It appears that the website offers 2 services. One gives access to the newspaper website and one gives access to a PDF version of the p newspaper. Apparently the
New York Times is only available via website, not in the PDF version. I did look at the PDF version of the
Buffalo News (I just picked a paper to check) and I can see where this would work well for me if it were only the right newspaper.
