the Free Press offers unique perspectives on current issues

Like it better than e-edition, I've been checking periodically to see if the Freep was available on the Kindle and noticed yesterday that it is. If there was a big announcement about it being available, I missed it. Anyway, I read today's paper entirely on the Kindle and find I prefer it to the e-edition. There was something about having to click on the article and then only seeing that article in the e-edition that caused me to skip over a lot of things I would have at least skimmed in the paper edition. And I was going days without reading it because I simply forgot about it. It was disconcerting to so quickly lose the 30+ year habit of reading the paper each morning.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is considered

Good value, Let me begin by expanding on Amazon's description of what you do and don't get compared to the dead tree version. You don't get anything in map or table form, such as weather, comics, TV listings, puzzles, or sports standings. You also don't get some syndicated features, such as Dear Abby and other advice columns.

The Globe and Mail

Yes, there are pictures, There are pictures for many articles, at least half. I read a lot of reviews saying there weren't any pictures, but they are mostly from a year ago, and the version I get with my Kindle (over Wifi every morning) in Vancouver comes with a whole bunch of pictures. One for most articles. I don't have a paper version to compare to, but really, pictures on a small screen won't compare to a large, colour, frontpage anyways. If that's what you're after, you're barking up the wrong tree.

Daily News offers its readers quality editorial

Great for the price, As an avid newspaper reader from New York who lives in Chicago, I had been looking for a better way to get my Daily News fix on my train ride to work than the Daily News app on my smart phone. The Daily News on my Kindle Fire provides me with that better option. Is this version the same quality as other newspapers on the Kindle? No. Is this version the same as reading the paper copy of the Daily News? No. Is this version easy to navigate without the sections clearly broken out? No. Is this version worth the $0.99/monthly charge? Absolutely. You can get the majority of the articles you're looking for by just searching through the issue.

find out what's happening in the City of Brotherly Love

Best Newspaper, I decided to type this review up because there are plenty for the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, but not enough for the newspapers from smaller markets. I'm giving the Philadelphia Inquirer five stars not because it is perfect, but because it is better than all the other papers I've downloaded, all of the bestsellers included. In other words, I'm grading on a curve. There are some kindle related navigation issues which could be improved, but that is probably more of a factor of the kindle or the kindle's development software itself and less of a problem with the paper as explained below.

With the Chicago Tribune, you'll have everything you need to stay informed

Graphics update, Well the Tribune finally has photos. They're kind of nice to have even if they make the file 5-10 times bigger (a hassle if you're in a war zone with crappy internet access). The thing is, since they now include graphics for the news stories there really isn't any reason not to include comics as well. I can get the Tribune online for the same price with the comics included, but the file is 5-10 times even larger than it is now. Again, only a problem where I'm at but even when I'm home I don't carry a laptop with me everywhere as I can and do with the Kindle.

The Boston Globe is the most widely circulated

Finally! Easy to Read; Easy to Skim, I live in Boston and had been waiting for the Boston Globe to become available for the Kindle since mine arrived on December 4, 2007. I subscribed the first day I found out about it and have not been disappointed. I am not a big print newspaper fan, I find them environmentally unfriendly, dirty (think blank ink on hand), and they contain a lot of information I usually have no interest in (ads, sports, stock lists, etc.) so they are thicker than I need them to be and messy. I won't even take the two free papers offered at the subway on most days (the excellent Metro and the whiny bloggy Boston Now). On the other hand I find the web version of newspapers hard to drill down to find the articles that apply only to today - if you know the topic you can do a search but there's really no way to tell if I at least skimmed all the articles for the day.
