Or you could just pay literally less than the cost of a cup of coffee a month --- with the first months free --- and use your Amazon Prime subscription to get WaPo. NYT all-access is a little pricier; it'll cost you two cups of coffee a month.

I'd understand the resistance if you were constantly having to authorize and approve these charges, but really you just sign up and forget about it. I use the subscriptions at least as much as I use Netflix. I am sort of kicking myself for not having set this up earlier.

Very interesting, I wasn't aware of this option. Here's the WaPo link: https://www.amazon.com/The-Washington-Post-Digital-Access/dp... Only $3.99/mo.

I can't find the New York Times on Amazon, though. I pay $7.50/mo for a digital subscription directly to the Times. A pretty great deal, if you ask me. They run a sale every week or two.

Did you mean to reply to someone else? You didn't address what I said.

WaPo bundles authorship and curation, which is exactly the problem I'm describing. The problem isn't cost, it's incompleteness.
