Only thing is the newspaper subscriptions seem kinda pricy to me.. $15 month -- that's almost $200/year.

Dave, are you getting the daily newspaper or something else? What I want, and don't consider $15/month pricey for, is an electronic replication of my p newspaper that I get delivered every morning. I know that some people are happy with the constant updating of news stories and condensed articles, but I want my e New York Times to be identical to my p New York Times. I will say this, too: I currently pay $46 a month for daily delivery of the New York Times so $15 a month would be a significant savings for me.

I get them from Calibre as well but it is just a few articles really. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy it but it is far from the full paper.
I am looking for the PressDisplay application which I use on my Mac and Blackberry to be put on a device (Rex has it I think). That is what I want. FULL articles. If the sony news offering will be like the kindle I would never pay $15 a month for it. |

There are a couple of newspaper/magazine services like NewspapersDirect that supposedly give you PDF versions of the daily paper but for your specific reader. That's what I am hoping the 900 will make available.

Press Display.com has a great viewer and the reader on the Mac/Pc is fantastic. It is the FULL paper, classifieds, ads, everything.
I have heard they are trying to develop it for the popular readers, Sony and Kindle I assume, but there are so many now who knows. I just purchased the LA Times via the Ebook Store and it is pretty good actually. A nice mix of more than Calibre (nicer layout for sure) and less than PressDisplay. |

Thanks Gameboy213. I was particularly interested in the added newspapers since they added The Denver Post. I currently get the weekend delivered edition.
