 Objective, intelligent and succinct September 22, 2008

If you truly want to know what is going on in the world this is the paper for you.The articles are a collection of the best of the best from multiple news sources. The articles are factual and intelligent. No spin and no soft pedalling of the many missteps by our country and others. Most important the articles are succinct and actually list the word count. Within 30-45 minutes you too can know what is truly happening in our world. After all isn`t that the purpose of a newspaper?
 Not enough for the price ... September 11, 2008
I gave this periodical a try, but I found that it was not for me, primarily because of the lack of material, not only for USA news, but world wide as well. This is a very small paper with just a few headline topics from various countries around the world. The paper did arrive early ... before 5:30 AM, which is nice. The best thing would be to try it, then decide for yourself.
The Best Kindle Periodical August 12, 2008

I decided to try this newspaper because of the 5-star rating, and I end up canceling Time, US news and world report, and stop buying Wall Street journal by the issue (not everyday).
This electronic version is well laid out, has some pictures in it, and the articles are very easy to read. I have had this over 2 weeks and have not found anything being omitted yet, which happened in the other periodicals. For example, if a table or chart is indicated to show something and is omitted, part of the story is gone.
This newspaper also gives a more worldly view, but has enough articles regarding the US to keep the US readers reading. I look forward to turning on my Kindle every morning and see it delivered in the air! In fact, I was waiting for it to come this past Sunday just to realize that there is no delivery on Sundays.
I decided to add this after having the paper a bit longer... this is essentially the international version of the NY Times, published by the NY Times, I also have the NY Times Latest News (Blog) and some of the articles are almost identical. I found this is a 'more for your money' paper than the NY Times since is includes more international stories.
I absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a Kindle periodical.
Great News Paper July 22, 2008

I absolutely love getting this paper on my kindle every morning (except Sundays of course, as there is no edition). Very in depth articles that leave you understanding the story, and not asking yourself more questions. I don't necessarily agree with all of the opinion articles (somewhat liberal), however, these are very thought out leaving the reader with an appreciation of the issue at hand.
I definitely recommend this paper, as it brings things into a "worldly" perspective compared to other papers you can get on the kindle.
The best that's out there July 4, 2008

This is a great newspaper, particularly on the Kindle. As others have stated, it has global reach. You won't find U.S. domestic issues here, but you will find a good deal of U.S. political/financial information.
Nicely laid out. Improvements that could be made have more to do with the Kindle itself than anything about the paper. There are a few photos ... just enough to be interesting. They are of medium quality but do break up the text.
Because it is so easy, I find myself reading on a much wider range of global topics. So I spend a lot of time with IHT, and sometimes struggle to keep up with the issues as they roll in.
I think this is a very balanced paper ... neither extreme right nor extreme left. I have not read anything in over a month of subscribing that made me go "ah hah, someone has an axe to grind here" ... something the parent company (NYT) often triggers in me. They seem to have taken a hands off approach to IHT, perhaps increasing emphasis on US content, but not (so far as I can see) injecting a lot of bias.
The one paper I would very much like to see on Amazon is the Financial Times. That plus IHT would give you pretty much everything you need to know about what is going on in the world. I also read Newsweek for a bigger picture overview - that fills in some of the domestic issue gaps. And I read extensively a number of well-known news websites and blogs, on my notebook.
Very worthwhile reading for the cost. It will broaden your outlook if you read articles that formerly would have been of little interest to you. The articles are well-written and brief enough for the reader to inhale a lot of information in a short period of time.
No crossword though :-(
