It would be nice if they'd give you a free online copy when you have a hard copy subscription. It wouldn't cost them anything and it would be a nice gesture.
It is actually worse than that I'm afraid
I really want to love digital media and would give up the hard copy subscription but let's be realistic the price needs to be no higher than a physical copy at the most and more realistically $0.50-$0.83. I mean come on, the real one has to be printed and shipped and yet the digital copy which costs nothing after the initial setup (which is also necessary for printing) is 200%-300% more expensive? Not only that but the subscriptions through B&N went up similarly across the board so that most are cover price. That really defeats the idea of a subscription. Needless to say they lost one subscription and when I looked for an alternative I would be interested in at the lower price range I couldn't find anything.
Good thing I have resources for free books
