I also like the paper being delivered first thing in the morning.
I presently get my Sunday newspaper in CT by going onto the internet as the New York paper is expensive so there is something to be said for internet news. I don't have to get dress in the cold months to go and fetch it.
IMHO - Each way is a personal preference. If I had to choose, the newspaper in my hand is more my style.

Internet papers do not get lost, blown around, water on them, stolen, you do not have to recycle them, you can look up and reread or just find an article on any subject from last week or last years paper with a simple one word search, you can highlight or save articles, you can send a copy if an article if allowed to a friend with the click of your mouse, save a copy of a pic in the paper, respond with a letter to the editor with a click, vote on the newspaper poll with a click, change the font so you do not have to squint, or get your reading glasses, read it on vacation or while a snow bird, will never mix it up with other papers when you want to reread it, get it at 2am or whenever you wake up, read it on the go with your nook or kindle, read it at the same time as your wife is reading it, save a forest every year, read your hometown paper in the same manner if they are totally online, complain to the editor about content, grammar, or price with a click, and more you cannot do with a paper copy. If you really want or need a paper copy, you can always print one using your computer Print button.
It is time now to advance the ball, or they could offer you the option of print, e paper, or both.
