I am surprised they haven't also added a pay per article feature. I am very non-committal about subscriptions, but might fork over a buck to read one article.

New readers can already fork over a buck (well, 99c) for a four-week trial subscription - of course, plenty of people dislike that because they don't trust themselves to cancel in time.

The problem for subsequent use is that I suspect a.) very few people would be willing to pay $1/article (maybe $1/day might be more likely?) and b.) Bringing it down that cheap may well mean it will have fairly stupid credit card processing fees.
