Readers likegetting a new book segment by e-mail per day and are resetting their subscriptionswhen they read ahead. They have complete control over the pace at which they read."
Readers have commented on the convenience and accessibility of the new feature. "Ilove to read and find I have little time unless it's for my job. This has enabledme to read a little each night or print and catch it when I can," said subscriber Doug Kuszmaul of Nevada, who has finished reading "Peter Pan" and Shakespeare's"Sonnets" by e-mail.
