 35 years reading paper format, several years online, 1 month Kindle: Kindle by far best format for my needs November 22, 2008
After reading the NYT in its paper format for over 35 years, and for several years online via the computer, I wasn't sure how I would like it via the Kindle.
After a month reading it on my Kindle, I will never go back to paper. Two reasons. First, in every location where I read the paper, the Kindle is the most user-friendly medium. On the subway: As a subway commuter in Washington it was common that the cars were so packed that I could not even turn the page of the paper version. So, I would stand for 30 minutes looking at the front page. Not a problem on the Kindle. At home: whatever position (laying down, standing up, getting dinner ready, etc.) holding and reading the Kindle is always comfortable.
Second, while I always seemed to miss an article in the paper format, I never do with the Kindle version - - all the articles are listed. The key (and maybe this should have been obvious if I had read the Kindle user guide) is to start with "Go to Articles List" and then use the "Back" button to quickly get back to the articles list after you are done reading the current article.
No more missing that article hiding on the bottom of the page in the middle of the section. I also subscribe to the update service, which is a great companion to this subscription.
NOTE: I don't do crosswords, so while some have complained that this is missing, not a problem for me. Others have complained about delivery issues. Not a problem for me - getting the paper version on time every day - that was a different story. Photos - yes these are generally missing from the Kindle version, but I don't really miss them. In terms of price, as some have noted it is not as cheap as other papers. Have folks priced a subscription to the paper format recently?
 no paper or ink - great idea! November 21, 2008
....but I didn't extend my trial subscription. All the front page articles are there and well written, but I'm not loving "Kindle editions" of most things. I'd like to see the articles listed without description to avoid the flipping of pages. Better organization would be ideal. I do like the no paper/no ink idea....so why the high cost?
YES, he said, yes November 17, 2008
What a great deal for an essential daily! I was paying close to $30 per month for the Sunday Times home delivered in CA. I am more than satisfied to date with content, readability, and delivery. And cost. I will continue my LATimes print subscription because another $359 for a second Kindle for my wife would be a bit mad.

Just bought a Kindle and tried the Times. It costs a fraction of what I have been paying for home delivery. I love the format and find the Kindle very easy to read papers with. No more late deliveries or wet papers. You can enjoy the paper and help the environment at the same time. It is such a delight not having to call customer service at the NYT to complain about yet another missed paper. 60 seconds and my news is delivered. LLW of MI.
