I prefer Readability as well. I can't justify the $5 per month subscription though. I'd happily pay $20 for a lifetime subscription, but I'm not sure what they're providing that is any different from Read it Later, Instapaper, etc. that justifies the monthly cost. I know they are attempting to pay back authors, but I don't understand why that must be a recurring cost. $5 per month is just a tad cheaper than what I pay for Netflix or prgmr.com, and I don't think it provides near the value of those two. Now when I get a Kindle Touch I might change my mind.
- troethom 15y agoHow wouldn't paying back authors be a recurring cost? It's quite simple actually; how do you divide your $20 between publishers? You can't (before you either die or stop reading that is). A monthly subscription on the other hand can be divided between the articles you've read that month.
