WSJ and Amazon work out a deal that makes the Kindle Fire more useable
2011
I recently upgraded my Kindle readers to the Touch and the Fire. Although I haven’t had a time to write a review, one of my complaints for the Kindle Fire is that my Wall Street Journal subscription can’t be read on it.
I received this email yesterday from Amazon – good news / bad news.
From: “Amazon.com”
To: “tclarke@nmapartment.com”
