Maybe one day there will be a good, cheap reader that can replace the newspaper -- until then I'll keep reading it.</p> I’d love to stop using physical papers and instead have an e-book-type reader, but the electronics still cost too much.

By cutting the 'news that fits to print' the NYT saves money by requiring their writers to report with less words(and news) per page. It's the abundance of letters to the editor section that I will miss! And yes, I read the NYT for the full coverage of a sound byte I read from the internet. Thank goodness the puzzle didn't shrink!</p> I find the smaller paper easier to read on a commute.

I’d love to read the NYT also. But I don’t have that much spare time in the day. :-(

I'm a long time reader of NYT.com, but in the last couple months or so I picked up the printed New York Times to read during my hour long bus commute and it was a revelation. For one, those tiny photos that appear in sidebars online are often gorgeously printed at an impressive size in the "real thing"! For me, reading a paper is more relaxing then reading at the computer, where so many things can compete for your attention. I'm also more likely to read articles that I would skip in the online version.</p> <p>Anyhoo.</p> Similarly to Apartment K, I get my “breaking news” from other sources (primarily NPR) and in-depth news from the NYT or the New Yorker.
