![]() Unfortunately, as of right now, The Economist isn’t available on the Kindle. I’ve been able to expand the range of books I can read on the bus because some of them (text books, Harry Potter, SciFi award compilations, etc) are just too darn thick to lug back and forth! My Kindle has a dozen of my in-progress books on it right now. It’s so tiny, which is wonderful for reducing the amount of weight in books and magazines I was carrying to and from work before. (I also subscribe to Business Week, Wired and others).Īfter a lot of research, I also decided to purchase a Kindle 2. I’m not going to gush anymore over how much I enjoy reading The Economist, but to say, that if I only subscribed to one magazine, The Economist would be it. But this week’s edition is completely free. Reading past editions requires a paid subscription, which carries a decent yearly fee. I recently stumbled upon something amazing: the current week’s full print edition is available, online, for free: this week’s Economist print edition. You can potentially get a subscription for $77 a year if you’re a student, which is an amazing deal: something that, after subscribing to the print edition for a year, I’d heartily recommend to anyone who qualifies. Which is no small commitment, as the best prices you can find for a print subscription are over $120 a year. I started reading The Economist on and off during college, and I recently took the plunge and purchased a print subscription. With the extra 5 hours of reading a week during the bus ride (a half-hour ride to and from work), I’ve been able to finish more books than I would otherwise, as well as keep current with some of my favorite magazines. ![]() I’ve always been a reader of books and magazines, but over the past few years the number of books I’ve finished has dwindled due to a lack of free time. One of the many things I’ve enjoyed about commuting via the bus is how much free time it gives me a week to read or listen to music. For the last two years, I’ve been taking the bus to work - there’s a stop a block away from my house, with a direct route to the front door of my workplace.
