No free lunch

Clarification: This app gives you access to your Le Monde subscription. They give you one free issue but thats all.

The app itself is well designed. Only complaint: bad page turning interface.

But the economic model is wrong.
- Your are paying an app to get to your subscription. Shouldnt the app be free then?
- The monthly subscription is 15 euros / month. All the publishers are in hurry to have us pay the full price. But in this modern age, you are not reading only one newspaper, you are getting your info from multiple sources. So if I want to read some articles from Le Monde + WSJ + NYT + Economist + a dozen of other papers, I will have to pay about $200+ a month, or $2000+ a year. We are seeing an old model conflicting with new technology possibilities.

This is like being forced to buy a full music album, when you really just want one track.
