Next best thing to newsprint edition but does have bells and whistles

I think the navigation on the digital edition is great. Content for each section runs along the side margin allowing you to jump to the next article of interest. It is so easy to share an article via email and to save one or a whole section. I love that the current edition or any of the past week's editions are always available on my phone or tablet, even if I am far from home. It also updates with news throughout the day.

I have been getting both print and digital editions for a couple of years. I originally dropped the print edition but quickly found that I missed it. It is easier to read on porch outside or at my desk (coworkers know I am reading the paper and not browsing Facebook). I always seem to miss something in the digital version that would catch my eye as I reviewed each actual page. I especially enjoy the weekend edition in real paper format.

However, I am more efficient at reading the digital edition as it is easier to skip articles I don't think I have an interest in reading. if you are an old school newsprint reader this may not serve all your needs but it is a handy way to always have the paper at hand on whatever device you are going to carry anyway.

A Former New York Times Reader

I read the New York Times faithfully for more than fifty five years. I devoured their timely, accurate and in depth articles. The paper was always right alongside my breakfast plate but sadly it developed FAKE, INACCURATE, and ONE SIDED NEWS After a considerable time I made the decision to cancel the ailing “rag”. I then went from one paper to the next trying to fill the the void. I finally subscribed to the WALL STREET JOURNAL. I was hesitant about this move as I felt it was designed solely for stock investors. Well I was wrong. I’m back with timely, accurate and in depth articles once again. Thank you WALL STREET JOURNAL! Breakfast looks a little different now as I have my iPad copy rather than a paper copy but I am happy. Sincerely, Linda Lombardo

The above review was written some time ago. Things have changed since then. What’s with all the video advertisements which interrupt the reading of the morning paper? The Wall Street Journal is not an inexpensive subscription so why are we being subjected to these lousy, repetitive ads?? Secondly since when has the Journal decided to participate in the so called “woke movement” ?? I am referring to articles in which you use non binary language. They for he or she for example. If the Journal is a truly serious paper you would not lend credence to this nonsense. Linda Lombardo

WSJ??

I enjoyed the print edition for many years. I find the WSJ readable and significantly less biased than than WAPO and the NYT. I no longer read the NYT, WAPO or Huffington Post. I watch a lot of FOX and find CNN and MSNBC to be unbelievably biased. My pet peeves with the digital version of the WSJ is the way it is organized. It does not read like a newspaper and I find it difficult to find stories by headlines and importance. I find the digital version of the NJ Star Ledger much more readable and organized. I don’t particularly like what the paper says but I can find what I want to read by looking a pages and headlines. I guess I’m old fashioned, but I just can’t warm up to the digital version of the WSJ. The other pet peeve is if I go from an aggregator like Drudge to a linked WSJ article I run into the WSJ paywall even though I’m a subscriber and must then go to the WSJ app, log in and attempt to find the article I was trying to read and I’m usually not able to find it. Can’t there be a way to allow subscribers to go directly to the article without all the rigamarole. I read newspapers using headlines arranged by importance not section by section!! Photograph your newsprint edition an use an app like the Star Ledger and I would be a lot more pleased with the WSJ digital edition.
