Customer Reviews

America's best newspaper
So many of the reviews are downrating the Journal because of the pricing structure: they think that folks who buy the paper through Kindle ought to be able to read it online as well. That's absurd. If you want to read the Journal online, then subscribe to it online: the cost is about the same. Or you can buy the paper edition, which costs quite a bit more, but then you get to pass it around the office or family.

What the critics overlook is that the Journal is the best and most thoughtful newspaper in the U.S. I am not a huge fan of its continuing makeover--it looks more and more like every other paper in the world, a sort of upscale USA Today. But still there is no other source nearly as good. It covers all national and international news, and in compact fashion. Its editorial page is conservative, but you don't have to read it if the politics offend you; the news pages are center-liberal like those of the Washington Post. Personally, I like the balance.

WSJ Print and Online only costs $99.00
The WSJ offers professionals both the print and online versions of the WSJ together in a bundle for $99.00 per year. Here you can get the Kindle only version of the WSJ for $119.88 per year. In my view this is a bad value. Amazon needs to negotiate better packages with these publishers. I don't want the print version, and would prefer Kindle and Online versions for $99.00. This should be an easy "yes" since the WSJ saves printing and delivery costs for the paper copy.

$95 for print, where?
So we got one of the kindle's as an anniversary present and I decided to look into the WSJ thing to see how it was and if it were maybe cheaper. I see in these other reviews that people are getting the print edition for $95/yr. I look online and the new subscriber price is quite a bit more, apparently my price is $499/2yr. I can essentially justify another kindle on this alone. Seems ok otherwise.
