Review: My New Yorker Experience
Rating: 5 out of 5

I subscribed to The New Yorker on my Kindle (3rd Generation) when it became available. I love getting the new issue each Sunday night at 11.01 p.m. (Central Time, or 12.01 a.m. Eastern Time). It is a wonderful magazine. I will note that all of the cartoons are at the back of the issue. I don't understand those who say they miss the cartoons.Anyway, when Amazon announced the price increase I decided to cancel and subscribe on my Nook Color (two week trial subscription), since it is the same price as Amazon (note: I see no reason at all to subscribe to the print version and get the same blasted magazine on my Nook Color).True, the magazine cover is in color, and you even have all the advertisements, if you want them (which the Kindle edition lacks). However, the font size for the articles is simply too small for my aging eyes, and there is no way to increase the font size while in the magazine. I also found the Nook Color version rather hard to navigate. For one instance, if you are reading an article, then exit the magazine to look at something else, then return to The New Yorker, you will be taken to the cover, not where you left off. After the second issue I gave up, cancelled my Nook Color subscription, held my nose and re-upped with the Kindle subscription.For content I rate The New Yorker five stars.
