Amazon newspapers is an actual subscription to the newspaper itself with all of its news content. My understanding of Feedbooks is that they aggregate RSS feeds to create a version of the newspaper (which would just be portions of the content, and I assume links to the website of the paper).

Amazon newspaper subscriptions should be more complete and better formatted.  The BIG difference, though, is price....

I downloaded one of the Feedbooks.com issues of the New York Times onto PDF and could only get one line summaries of the articles.

Just so I understand, in reading my DT version of the Sunday Times, when I finish the first page I flip past several pages with pictures of watches and malnourished women (advertising).  I won't have to do that with the Kindle version?  No Ads!!??

Does the Kindle version leave your fingers white instead of black like the DT version?    Wink
