The New York Times

Kindle Touch/NYT a good combination, I think New York Times on Kindle Touch is the best device experience the NYT has provided so far. It is easy to read, there are no ads, most of the content is there, and it just downloads every morning. The navigation is not perfect but it's okay, and the optional two column format is a great way to quickly survey the entire paper. The Kindle subscription can also be linked with a NYT online subscription for no extra charge. has not had an easy time moving onto digital devices (which is true for most of traditional media) but I think Kindle Touch/NYT is ready for prime time and I'd like to see Amazon/NYT continue
to work on it. I feel for the print subscribers who receive digital access but not kindle access as part of their print subscription. It doesn't seem fair to distinguish devices in that way. But if you have given up print, or are planning to, Kindle Touch/NYT is well worth a look. review By lawrencebl (Palo Alto, CA United States)

The incomplete edition, I'm flabbergasted. Why on earth would the New York Times publish an electronic version that omits entire sections and many articles that appear in its print version? The tide is rapidly turning against print journalism generally; free news content abounds on the Internet. So why on earth would the Times stiff subscribers by providing less content? We can bemoan the advent of e-publishing to no end, but the handwriting is on the wall: the days of pulp and ink are drawing to a close, especially for newspapers and periodicals. If and when the Times leadership begins publishing the full print edition for e-readers, then I will consider subscribing again. But until then, consider my subscription cancelled. reviews By A reader in (Seattle, WA)
