Wall St. Journal has most e-reader subscribers

The Wall Street Journal  has by far the highest e-reader circulation of any newspaper in the U.S., according to Audit Bureau of Circulations data .


The Journal had generated 414,025 e-subscriptions as of April 2010, up 8% from 383,199 in April 2009. By comparison, The New York Times
ranks No. 3 on the report's list of the top 25 e-reader circulations, with 90,934 downloaded as of this April versus 43,844 as of last.


The Detroit Free Press edged out The Times in the No. 2 spot with 105,210 subscriptions. Last year, that paper ranked No. 17 with 15,776 subscriptions. (In December 2008, the Detroit Free Press announced it would be scaling back its home-delivered print edition to three days a week, which probably accounts for the massive jump in e-subscriptions.)
