I prefer getting them on the Braille+.
However, the most common problem is NFB Newsline not getting them
transferred to BookShare.  The next most common problem is that the
Newspaper itself doesn't send NFB Newsline the files, in which case it
doesn't matter if you get them via e-mail or try getting them from
BookShare.
For example, the Oregonian often doesn't send them the Sunday newspaper
until Monday or Tuesday.  Isn't that useful.
And, as in today again, NFB Newsline is apparently having trouble
transferring the New York Times Sunday.  At least, it was there at 8:00 AM
Pacific Time.

more trouble than it's worth.  I say this because I have heard that  
there is some problem with the papapers.  Do you get them in email?   
I'd rather get them via rss or the web.

I know this is probably a more tedious process, but what you might try  
is to
sign up for Daisy newspapers to be sent to you through email.  That  
way, if
the bookshare thing isn't working, you'll have something to fall back  
on.
