   Oddly, their digital subscription rate is the same as the USA print rate.   
   This means that those outside of the USA get a slight break by choosing   
   the digital version (print to Canada is $12 extra per year, and to other   
   countries is $15 extra per year).   
      
   What really bugs me is that they charge an extra $12 per year to get the   
   digital version in addition to the print version. I agree that the digital   
   version should have a better price, and this should mean that the print   
   version should include the digital version as a bonus.   
      
   I would like to try out the digital version, but I don't want to pay   
   extra to receive the same content and I don't want to switch cold turkey.   
   I'm already paying for the content, so why can't I try it in another   
   format before making a total commitment?
