Thanks for the information.

What is the extra usefulness of one type of online delivery over the other?

I rarely ever buy paper versions of things now, because they tend to rapidly bank up with only a fairly modest percentage actually read. Apart from any concerns about wasting resources, I have come to prefer electronic versions and now find them more convenient (which I probably wouldn't have predicted a few years back).

Given that none of us have actually tried the iPad version yet, what reasons do you think would either put me off that form of delivery - or, conversely, possibly appeal?

I am neither an Apple fanboy nor hater, and I may or may not buy one. Ditto for the WSJ. But I am interested in the idea of a short term sub (of a variety of online material) just to try it out.

So any further information or opinions you have would be welcome.

Thanks,

Chris
