I want the NY Times to stay around, so I bought their digital delivery. What rubs me the wrong way is the arbitrary distinction between devices... You pay more

You pay more for nytimes.com + iPhone + iPad. It's a little silly. Charge me 1 price regardless of where I consume it! I bought the full $4.38 / week plan but I think it's too much when it goes to $8.75. I can switch to paying $3.75 and just instapaper all the articles I want to my iPad.

- jaaron 14y agoIn my case, it was cheaper to pay for a physical Sunday delivery subscription which includes digital. I don't really want the Sunday paper, but it's a better deal.
- niels_olson 14y agoI think they really need to listen to Jobs: cut the price point to $5/mo
- subpixel 14y agoI agree. In fact I held off for a long time just b/c the pricing is so...stupid. They have three different plans combining web, smartphone, and tablets. All priced by the week, charged by the month. Then a totally standalone Kindle plan. I don't even know what the plans are for Nook, Sony Reader, or Kobo Reader (all mentioned on their digital subscription page without pricing). Ugh. If I think about this any more I'll be forced to cancel my Kindle subscription.
