I notice that Barrons is having a July 4th sale. $52 for a 1 year digital subscription and $100 for 2 years. $200 for a 2 year print and digital subscription.
Is the digital only subscription easy to read and use? Or is print version worth the extra cost?
Yogibearbull's excellent summary posts have got me interested in subscribing. Yogi, thanks for posting them.

I read the WSJ and NYT digitally but for some reason prefer Barron's in hardcopy. Maybe because then I read through page by page and when I read it digitally, I look at the titles and end up reading almost nothing.
Also, ask if you want a delivery person in a car with a bad muffler driving by your house every morning at 3am, maybe setting off alarms.
Edit: I had a paranoid moment coincide with a little time on my hands and so, the house knows if someone approaches.

Those are great deals - $1 or less per issue that you buy retail at $5.
Online is fine, but paper issues has lot more data.
For my weekend summaries, I start on Friday as weekend stories get posted online slowly, and by 9pm Central Friday, most of the weekend issue is available online. Then I supplement with paper copy that is home delivered around 6am Saturday. That is why you see my Part 1 post so early.

Also, Barron's/WSJ used to have an online tool that let you manipulate a list of all companies by sector/industry but they eliminated it. I found it helpful looking for companies to research. Barron's tried to eliminate some data from the paper a year or so ago and the readership revolted. They brought much of it back. They're bringing Market Lab data online now - a copy of what's in the paper, but there's till a lot of data, stock tables mostly, in section M that's not online, as far as I know. Stock tables hearken back a bit, before the internet and are of no use to me.

Thanks to all who responded. I ordered the 2 year print plus digital subscription for $200. Price will increase to $29.99 per month at the end of the subscription term. While ordering online, they offered to add "MarketWatch" to my subscription at a cost of $9.99 per month. I declined that option because I wasn't sure what Market Watch provides.
