Make sense. The original articles can still be read at the original locations, so nothing wrong with charging for an organised version.

He's even friendly enough to link to the original articles from the teaser page. Every article has a link associated with it so you don't have to go hunting.

Purchased! $3 is fair.

Maybe it's fair, but I feel they shouldn't have distributed it freely to begin with without making clear that it was becoming a paid product at some point. Now I feel pissed, irrationally perhaps, but pissed nonetheless.

I find this attitude quite bizarre.

Have you ever read The Prince?

I was relieved to see that they started charging for this! I wanted to pay but didn't want the snail mail version. I printed every issue on a A4 duplex color laser printer and it comes out very nice. I paid for the next 12 issues.

Nothing wrong with the price but I'm really curious how it turns out and if the extra revenue makes up for less interested advertisers if the number of downloads goes down significantly).
