Product Description
Few newspapers enjoy the prestige and authority of The Wall Street Journal. The Wall Street Journal is where America starts its business day. This daily paper publishes the latest in news from the business and finance world. Additionally, it strives to connect current domestic and international news events to business fluctuations and market changes. It also seeks to inform the educated reader about pressing economic changes and evolution. But the Journal covers more than just business. Its weekend edition covers the activities and interests that readers are most passionate about: travel, art, collecting, fashion, wine, sports and entertainment. Notable columnists include James Taranto, Bret Stephens, Homan W. Jenkins, Jr., Daniel Henninger and Mary O'Grady. The Kindle Edition of The Wall Street Journal contains articles found in the print edition, but will not include tables and stock quotes. For your convenience, issues are automatically delivered wirelessly to your Kindle so you can read them each morning. Please note that The Wall Street Journal publishes only Monday through Saturday.

 Can't share between two Kindles - Not like reading the paper with someone October 1, 2008
While this is great if you just want to get the Journal and get your reading done, it suffers from drawbacks that make it less useful than getting the Print/Web edition for $99 -- remember, this is $120 for the year.
We have two Kindle's in the house....it's annoying that I can't deliver it to both of them, even though books can be shared amongst 5 Kindles. This is particularly frustrating because it takes away the whole ritual of having coffee and "reading the paper together".
Also, as previously stated, you don't get online access...I've contacted Fox and WSJ and written a couple of letters...still, no dice after almost a year.
This is really only for people who just want to read the paper by themselves, and don't have a need to search the online WSJ on a topic.
 don't be fooled by print promotional pricing! September 5, 2008

I am a long time WSJ print subscriber and just cancelled my print.
the reviews talking about pricing of print/online vs kindle are missing the fine print - "new subscribers only".
The kindle price is cheaper than the print price. More than enough to make up for paying for online access separately (which you have to pay additional for when you have a print subscription)
If you like the WSJ and you are a Kindle user, this is the way to go.
Not worth it! September 4, 2008

As others have noted, the Wall Street Journal print edition is cheaper and includes online access. The Kindle edition is not a good buy.
I'm not sure why the Kindle edition costs more! It has less content and very few graphics. I thought I was helping the planet by getting a Kindle edition, but obviously the WSJ views the Kindle as a poor second-class cousin to the print edition.
Why two stars instead of one? I liked the Journal's business coverage, and in general most articles outside of the editorials were very well-written.
I was a print subscriber for many years, but now I am moving on to better Kindle newspapers.
 WSJ Kindle Review September 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Decent product for first generation. WSJ needs to provide all charts and graphs that accompany articles. If they can include the dot-photos, they can certainly include more important graphics. They should also include all items in the 'What's News' columns on the front page of the newspaper. No reason to skimp on the content here. All the articles are identical to the newspaper edition, which is very positive. With a little more effort, the WSJ can really make this experience better than reading the newspaper.
 Why not get the real thing its cheaper and complete August 29, 2008

The title says it all. I could not believe that I was paying more money for less content. If you get the WSJ off your kindle you should stop and save your money for a finance class because you don't know the basics of what a good investment is.
