As with the Kindle, so with the Nook. Barnes & Noble is going to be bundling free New York Times web access for Nook paper subscribers, just as Amazon is with the Kindle. The cost to subscribe to the paper on the Nook is $20 a month, just as with Amazon.
So far, the Times paywall seems to be reasonably porous. And certainly, the idea of offering free access to subscribers via e-reader devices makes sense—especially if the combined benefit is enough to induce fence-sitters to sub on the Nook or Kindle. Either way, the Times gets more money.
