4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Addition To The Kindle!!, July 1, 2008
By A. Stagg (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Fantastic newspaper for the Kindle. It is absolutely great to have the Pulitzer Prize winning LA Times and their excellent articles available for the Kindle. I'm actually amazed it took this long to become available to Kindle subscribers.

Why not 5 stars? No graphics, no pictures, and I would hope for a lower price for an electronic newspaper. I don't think Amazon or the newspapers have thought out the economics of growing this segment of their industry. They are charging too much for a product that is less expensive to make. I still LOVE having the news on my Kindle, but these electronic subscription only SUPPLEMENT receiving the paper version. For families, there is not the traditional family Solomon-esque experience of splitting the morning or weekend paper among family members who all want to read the sports page. So, these subscriptions to the e-version should be discounted for people who actually subscribe to the local papers OR they should provide electronic FAMILY subscriptions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Coverage and Writing, August 16, 2008
I live on the East Coast, read both the NY Times and Wash Post on the web, but was disappointed with both their Kindle attempts. Perhaps, their Kindle editions are finalized and published so early (between 4 to 6 am EST) that they can't include many of the stories found on their websites at the time most people start their days. It appears like both are a bit short on articles compared to their print or web editions. The LA Times Kindle edition, however, seems to have more timely headlines for the late morning commute (9 am EST). Also, their writing is solid, and coverage amazing. In addition to the hard news of world conflicts or the housing crisis, they mix in human interest stories like recent ones on the struggles of workaday classical musicians or archaeologists uncovering artifacts from ancient "green" Sahara. Definitely a keeper.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Kindle Newspaper for me, February 8, 2009
By DDW (California) - See all my reviews
I tried at least 5 newspapers on the Kindle, including New York Times and Washington Post, and settled on the LA Times a few months ago. The layout and navigation work well on the Kindle. It consistently arrives early. The quality of the writing and the breadth of coverage are both excellent. I would have given it a '5' - but the lack of graphics and photos is an obvious negative--especially when reading a story that refers to a graph that you have no way to see. Nevertheless, I highly recommend LA Times, especially to Californians who want substantial and original coverage of national events.
