Orang tua computer illiterate.

Like my parents. I setup a PC with 24in vertical LCD for them to try read e-newspaper (subscription only RM60/year).

After a few days, they gave up. Willing to pay RM2/day for physical copy.

It is the glare, sometimes it can be uncomfortable.

For me it is ok, but some of my friends really cannot tahan.

Can try e-ink displays like the kindle or kobo. You can set up Pocket (the read later app) with the kobo. One of my friend likes it another does not, YMMV.

It is like reading on your old 3310.

They should add more ads to cover their cost instead of raising the selling price.

Sekoah rendah time, buy for tv schedule. Sunday get schedule for whole week can see what movie and cartoon to watch, and plan. Ada pun 3 channel je. Like kids nowadays phone is life, back then tv is life. You plan your daily life around tv schedule.

Sekolah menengah time, buy for Star 2 pullout. Entertainment, fashion, InTech. Dear Thelma usually have hngggh story. University time, buy for actual news. Start caring less about Star 2 content. Start working time, Malaysiakini. That time Anwar just got sacked. Thats when people start to realise mainstream newspaper all jilat, start downfall of newspaper biz, coincide with digital revolution.

Those idiots that scream, what are they thinking? Physical media is free?

Paper, printing, transportation all needs money. The number of distribution has gone down drastically, and that means there's no more volume to distribute the cost, hence price increase is inevitable.

Agreed with the above. Increase price of paper, printing ink + machinery mantainence and staffs' salaries, equally shared among the decreasing readers. Reduce the readers by another half and it'll be RM6/per copy.
