I just hope the bookmarks aren't time-limited or else I will have wasted a lot of time and effort!

Well I don't know if that will work but I know they save the viewed images in your account perhaps best to write down the publication, issue date and the search criteria you used for each one. I know it's tedious...
I got a reply and it's a standard one on my concerns on pricing structure:-

Dear Margaret,
Thank you for your email.
Our pricing for online access is in line with other commercial family history resources and we will ensure that it is reviewed regularly to ensure it remains this way.
Kind Regards,
Liam Kelly

It's a strange one to be honest I think - I am going to reply I think pricing structures for that particular site, because all they offer is NewsPapers, should be either time or credits but not credits built on timescales to use them - doesn't make sense they only have one thing to offer.
Whoever put that in doesn't understand research or what people are prepared to pay for unfortunately.
