Well I just spent 20 minutes waiting to get through to Customer Support at Sony. The only answer I could get from the Central American support person I spoke with is that I will have WSJ content available through Sony. He couldn't answer my question if I will have full access to wsj.com web content through the web. I tried several times to clarify my question, but he really was just parroting some other person he had spoken with and didn't get it. I gave up.

If someone else figures this out please let me know. Also, it looks like the reader store is selling only monthly, not annual subscriptions.

Since I don't want to give up access to the WSJ web site, I have this sinking feeling that I might have to stay with the Calibre converted version of the WSJ.

From the press releases I had the impression that for an extra $5 per month I would get the Sony WSJ edition in addition to my online edition. Looks like that is not true.
