Easily navigated,

This review is from: The Guardian and the Observer (Kindle Edition)
Saturday edition is pretty much replicated in full on the kindle, and finding articles is straightforward: A menu on the left of the screen listing sections, then a menu on the right of the screen listing articles - you can either progress page-by-page through the section or use the navigation key to skip to the next article.
Articles include some photos/illustrations, but not to the detriment of the text. My one complaint (on day one) is that the weekly quiz in the weekend section is not present, nor the Michael Holden or Mick Bunnage sections in the Guide. If you are a Guardian reader with a Kindle, I would recommend you experience the 14 day trial - as far as I'm concerned, I'll be sticking with the subscription as I am in awe of the work the Guardian does in exposing establishment miscreants... Edit: After three issues I'm still impressed, but here is info for prospective buyers: As standard each issue is kept for 7 days and then deleted; if you want to save a particular issue then it can be saved for posterity. Individual articles from each issue can be saved to a separate folder (one which also contains bookmarks and notes inserted in books... room for improvement later on hopefully.) No further realistic complaints; it would be nice to be able to access cartoons and puzzles but this is restricted by the format/technology: for a one-off (5 second?) download in the morning, it matches what the online BBC news website delivers for most of the day..... Further edit: Michael Holdens` All Ears column is now included, as is the weekly quiz in the Weekend section. What is odd is that as of 21st July the Technology section is not included in the data download. Edit the third: I mistakenly assumed that the Science and Technology section was still published on a Thursday - it's not in the printed edition, but is available online. Also, for a period of three weeks the weekend section was missing from the download version, but that has now been reinstated.

Thoroughly Readable Newspaper,
This review is from: The Guardian and the Observer (Kindle Edition)
As a long term Guardian reader but a new Kindle user, I was delighted to find this version of the paper newly available today.
I had been put off subscribing to other Kindle-based newspapers, partly because I did not particularly want to read them, but largely because the reviews were all rather negative about ease of use, lack of care taken preparing a Kindle-friendly version and complaints about missing content. I found the Kindle content matched the paper version of today's Guardian very well (without the advertisements) and I can't see how getting around could be any better on the small Kindle screen. It is of course a very different experience flicking through menus rather than scanning large printed pages to decide what to read but once you are into an article the experience is the same as any other Kindle reading experience. The articles include relevant photographs and these reproduce perfectly acceptably - though obviously smaller and in black and white. I have yet to decide if I really enjoy using the Kindle for reading books but, if future Kindle editions of the Guardian/Observer are as well produced as this first trial, it will help me become a convert.

I've surprised myself with how much I like it!,
This review is from: The Guardian and the Observer (Kindle Edition)
I've been reading The Guardian for 40 years... that kind of a newspaper habit is about more than just the content. I signed up for the 14-day trial, more than half expecting not to like it, and expecting to miss the 'thingness', the materiality of the actual paper paper.
My motivation for the try-out was basically environmental - to reduce my contribution to carbon emissions from all that trucking heavy paper around. But I love it! It's been well thought-out, it's easily navigable, the headline pages look like The Guardian. Pity about the crosswords and the Sudoku, but I'm not an addict, so I can live without them. Real pity to miss Steve Bell and Doonesbury... but, again, I can live without them. Additional bonus: the paper won't arrive an hour late in the school holidays, because the paper boy didn't get out of bed! Downsides: it takes business away from my small, local independent newsagent; and there won't be that useful pile of old newspapers for all the little jobs around the house... wrapping broken china or used cat litter, and so on.
