More subscriber benefits

I, too, would be interested in a subscription; I like the idea of keeping the basic weekly news free but giving more to subscribers.

Someone has already mentioned printable PDF as a subscriber benefit, another would be the "whole thing on one page" format that I have always preferred. You could go even further and give subscribers a personal, configurable portal page.

Yet another subscriber benefit might be a personal "home page" -- a picture, HTML in the bio, cross-reference to comments, maybe even a weblog. That way, a subscriber community could develop. (Of course, something like that would also eat up a lot more of your readers' time, but...)
