Because of the continuing "tardy" arrival of America here in Canada, I was considering letting my print subscription lapse when it comes due in January - instead, I will certainly subscsribe to the Kindle edition at that time.
I will be interested to see how you handle the various photo / illustrations that usually appear in the print edition in the new Kindle edition.
Jim: Right now Amazon does not allow for sharing of periodicals. If you share an Amazon account with a family member who also has a Kindle, though, you will both receive the subscription to America.
Gene: we have made our application to Barnes & Noble. Stay tuned.
