Everything I need except the funnies. August 10, 2008
I've subscribed to the Philadelphia Inquirer for over a decade, and it is an excellent paper. I've tried the Kindle version for two weeks now, and I'm quite satisfied. My kids wish the Kindle version included the funnies (I kinda do too), but I'm satisfied and have canceled delivery of the regular paper because it often arrives too late in the morning for me to read before work, whereas the Kindle version is always ready for me when sit down with my bowl of cereal. Navigation between articles can be a bit cumbersome, but then that is also true with hard copy.(Review continued on page B12)
Great to be able to buy individual issues of Kindle newspapers June 2, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I've been buying individual issues of the Sunday Philadelphia Inquirer on my Kindle pretty much every week since purchasing the device. For about a third of the cost of the print edition, I get all the news, features, and columns everyone else does, and many of the photographs. And the things I don't get- cluttery ad inserts, classifieds, ink-stained fingers, etc.- I don't want anyway.
The Kindle edition of the paper, like most Kindle periodicals, is well organized and easy to navigate, allowing me to quickly jump to favorites like Lisa Scottoline's Sunday "Chick Wit" column and the book reviews.
There's some criticism here in Philadelphia that, due to budget and staff cuts, the Inquirer isn't what it used to be. That may be so, but there's still a lot of lively writing in the paper, especially on Sunday. And buying the Sunday paper in about nine seconds (just after I put the coffee on), and for about fifty cents, deflates the criticisms somewhat.
The monthly subscription, which gets you the paper every day, is a great deal, too. But I'm glad Amazon also allows the purchase of individual issues of its Kindle newspapers, giving those of us who only prefer an occasional dose of a particular newspaper a chance to play in the sandbox, too.
 Good value January 27, 2008

For the price, this is a great paper: you get not only national and international news, but also Philadelphia-specific coverage. I subscribe to this as an addition to the New York Times, which tends to provide deeper coverage on some topics. Still, this is excellent value for the subscription, and the articles are good.

Didn't seem to have the number of articles the other newspapers have. The sports section was definetly lacking. (ie college bball)
Better layout of the content January 5, 2008

This newspaper has more photographs than the Times and more is better because it breaks up the type. I wish it had features other than news like comics and advertising. Being a local newspaper ads would be very relevant.
