Kindle Magazine Price Lowered

Cash: Personal Finance for Real People has as it's goal to help American consumers evaluate their options for spending, saving and investing across the broad range of decisions they confront every day. 

When I pointed out the the publisher that it was cheaper to just buy the weekly issues at $0.49/week versus subscribing at $2.49/month, that anyone who was serious about managing their cash would quickly conclude the same, and that relying on memory to go buy the issue would no doubt result in most people just reading an issue now and then, not to mention that their own press releases stated that the price would be $1.49/mnonth (a $12/year difference), they quickly agreed that the pricing was a problem and that they were working with Amazon to correct it. Only a few hours later, the price has been lowered to $1.49, perhaps one of the swiftest (hopefully permanent) price drops for a Kindle subscription. This magazine is a Kindle exclusive, also, something that the Amazon blog didn't make clear, but which is clearly spelled out in the companies press releases that were posted in news agencies across the web (but which are, oddly, difficult to impossible to find on the publisher's own web site). So, enjoy the price break - you can get this magazine for free for the rest of the year (first billing 12/31 if you order today or after 1/1 if you order tomorrow), then keep it for $1.49/month after that.
