What do you think about the NYT's paywall and it's free 20 page per month viewing limit? Reading 20 pages goes quickly, but you can get extra pages if you link from another site.

Forget about paying more for usage on your PC or IPad than your IPhone, Android or Blackberry, that's just plain UNFAIR. If any of this is a bit confusing, it gets even worse, so read
