Blendle is nice in theory but their article pricing is really off-putting. I know that it's the publisher's choice to set prices for individual articles, but I'm not going to pay half of the actual paper price to read one single article.
I use it to read a select few things that I'm really interested in, but I'd love it to be more of an individual aggregation of stuff (think Flipbook) where I don't mind reading lots of articles because they're essentially cheap enough for me to not care. Not going to do that, though, when a 300 word article costs up to 1€.
- eitland 8y agoThat's sad to hear. (Not using Blendle on a daily basis.) I was always waiting for more articles to get available on Blendle, but if pricing is going through the roof it will be harder to recommend.
- mercer 8y agoI'd love to be able to support individual authors, or 'collectives', regardless of where they publish. I suppose that's hard for Blendle to arrange though.
