 Not worth it! September 4, 2008
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
As others have noted, the Wall Street Journal print edition is cheaper and includes online access. The Kindle edition is not a good buy.
I'm not sure why the Kindle edition costs more! It has less content and very few graphics. I thought I was helping the planet by getting a Kindle edition, but obviously the WSJ views the Kindle as a poor second-class cousin to the print edition.
Why two stars instead of one? I liked the Journal's business coverage, and in general most articles outside of the editorials were very well-written.
I was a print subscriber for many years, but now I am moving on to better Kindle newspapers.
 WSJ Kindle Review September 3, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Decent product for first generation. WSJ needs to provide all charts and graphs that accompany articles. If they can include the dot-photos, they can certainly include more important graphics. They should also include all items in the 'What's News' columns on the front page of the newspaper. No reason to skimp on the content here. All the articles are identical to the newspaper edition, which is very positive. With a little more effort, the WSJ can really make this experience better than reading the newspaper.

The title says it all. I could not believe that I was paying more money for less content. If you get the WSJ off your kindle you should stop and save your money for a finance class because you don't know the basics of what a good investment is.
 America's best newspaper August 27, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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 August 11, 2008

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.
