Kindle Will Bypass New York Times Paywall

By musiclover - Tue Mar 29, 3:35 pm

When there’s a paywall, there’s a way, and there are no shortages of methods to dodge or dissemble The New York Times’ new content subscription paywall. Even as the Old Gray Lady attempts to shut down loophole-exploiters, like the renegade Twitter feeds reposting NYT content so readers don’t have to pay, more procedures sprout by the day.

The latest comes from Amazon, which issued a press release stating that Kindle-users who subscribe to the Kindle Edition of the New York Times will receive free access to the Times’ website. The date for Kindle New York Times subscribers’ free online access is yet undetermined, but Amazon promises e-mail updates in “the coming weeks.” The NYT on the Kindle costs $20 per month.
