I've read the newspaper online for a number of years, now. At first it was because my work schedule shifted to early early mornings, and the paper never arrived in time to read before I left for work. Then it got burdensome to recycle the papers, themselves (before curbside recycle arrived).
Over the weekend, I impulsively signed up for a year's delivery of the Statesman. I'm wondering, will it even last a month before I say, no thanks?
The one thing I really missed about the paper was all the little kitschy ads and announcements, which I never got with the online version (who pays attention to those when there are 327 inane comments about lady cops causing a riot in downtown Boise?)
I'm almost ready to buy a Kindle (have the iPad 3G). I have more to say about e-reading (mebbe next post?) but for some reason, it feels decadent and old-fashioned to read the newspaper by print...
