It is an amazing way to get the newspaper delivered daily, with ultimate convenience, no debris (read: stacks of papers sitting around), and an incredibly beautiful interface that provides tremendous ease of navigation and reading. I LOVE reading a newspaper, but have been subscribing to the Washington Post for about 2 months now. I now cannot imagine being willing to get the paper otherwise. I will also say that I have NEVER subscribed to a newspaper before now and I never read the news online through a given paper's website. Too many ads, too hard to find what you're looking for, etc., can't easily clip things out...AND, it's a screen. The Kindle is not an illuminated screen so it doesn't tire your eyes. I will also say that as a frequent traveler, I am asked regularly about my Kindle -- and when I talk about the newspaper stuff, people get really excited and see the benefits. More than one has said it could save the newspaper industry. Far-fetched? Perhaps. But I sure hope that someone is thinking about it besides me!
