I'm one of the few lucky ones with a beta account. I love being able to read articles from different news papers without having to buy them all. Articles usually cost about 15 to 25 cents and you can ask your money back when the article is not what you expect it to be. This is pretty useful because the moment you click on an article you pay for it. I haven't found this to be a problem for now but I guess people will sometimes click without noticing. Money is being refunded without questions asked.

The service works great on an iPad and the crew behind Blendle is really responsive to questions. Great work.

This overcomes one of the big issues today - how can you charge for what others give away for free? Amazing that they got everyone on board, and that there are no regulatory hurdles. It takes real Chutzpah by the founders to think they could off something so audacious. Bravo!
