 a great way to get Foreign Affairs July 18, 2010

A great journal, somewhere between scholarly & popular. Getting it on the Kindle is a great way to keep up with it.
 More strange pricing for Kindle items July 6, 2010

I've been criticised before for giving a low star rating to items that are inherently good (like Foreign Affairs) but only to make a point about price. But I see no other way to do it. I have an issue with the Kindle price of this item.
A hard copy subscription in the USA is 32.00
A kindle subscription is 47.88

Convenient for Kindle May 26, 2010

Foreign Affairs is an influential magazine on national security and I enjoy my subscription. Although the inconvenience of accumulating stacks of paper issues deterred me from subscribing, I was delighted to find it available on Kindle. I simply save every issue now and can access them without more clutter at home.
The reason I give this 4 stars though instead of 5 is because of the publisher's support for Kindle users. For one thing, they give print subscribers access to content on their website but not Kindle subscribers. I have been trying to argue with them on this point but I don't get the sense they value Kindle subscribers as highly. Also, right before the Kindle edition came out, I e-mailed customer service and asked if they could publish in Kindle, and they said they had no plans to do so. (Meaning customer service was completely out of the loop.)

 Online Archives Missing May 6, 2010

I would love to get this for my Kindle, but you do not get access to the online archives. Which as a masters student is ideal (but so is the portability of the Kindle). What to do?
I have contacted customer service at both Amazon and FA magazine and both responded quickly with the fact that you do not get archive access with the Kindle (yet we pay $24 per year) which is $6 more than the student subscription, which I would gladly pay for the convenience and portability. But without archive access needless to say that I will not be going with the Kindle subscription. I like the Kindle and I like FA magazine, but this product does not meet expectations.
If you are really interested in this capability contact FA magazine and Amazon, maybe if enough people showed interest they would adjust. Please note I am not giving FA magazine a one star, just the Kindle version.
