There are so many advantages to having the paper in electronic format. You can zoom in to the articles, you can email the articles to yourself for further reference, the electronic version is not bulky like a hard copy, and there is no need to recycle like you needed to do as a hard copy (I used to have stacks laying around). I highly recommend the electronic version. Also the cost is more cost effective.

I've never seen an app that you pay for a subscription, and they have the audacity to do a pop-up to cover your reading that just tries to get you to subscribe to emails or such. you paid, you should be left alone. The content is garbage because the paper is not world class anymore. but if you need a local paper, this is the only choice for not ultra conservative content... so it's very lame the app assaults you with pop-ups. stop it.
