Update to the previous post:

On the off chance that the Globe single-day issue purchase glitch was nothing more than that, I tried subscribing to the Wall Street Journal and the New Yorker.

  • B&N customer supervisor says they are aware of single-issue newspaper trouble w/ iPad app but can't refund. Working on it. 

  • I was able to read WashPo from B&N on iPad but not Boston Globe or Intl Herald Tribune. App update coming later, rep said.
