 Good and hopefully getting better September 22, 2008

I have been a Chicago Tribune (print) subscriber for 10 years. I wanted to get the Tribune on the Kindle for a number of reasons (no paper to deal with, ease of delivery, etc.). While I'm very glad the Tribune is now available on the Kindle, there is certainly room for improvement.
The Kindle version of the Tribune is simply a 'dump' of the Tribune articles. For the most part, this is fine -- the reader gets all of the content (minus graphs, charts, comics, crossword puzzle) of the print edition. However, there are a number of flaws that haven't been corrected yet, including:
- Most columns do not have a byline (even after being told this would be corrected, it isn't 100%)
- Accompanying articles are out of order
- General formatting (e.g. lists)
- Occasionally items are clearly missing (e.g. 'Here are 5 items ...' and then the 5 items are missing)
- US/World blurbs do not identify the state or country
It's clear the formatting of the Kindle edition of the Tribune needs some work -- the Tribune needs to understand how the reader views the articles and format them accordingly. A simple 'dump' from the print edition isn't sufficient; additional formatting is necessary.
I have subscribed to the Chicago Tribune Kindle edition since it was first offered, and it has improved. Here's hoping that the Tribune continues these improvements to make the Kindle edition something worth my continued subscription.

I sign up for almost every paper.I figure 14 free days is worth the sign up time. This is one I stuck with. Informative. Fun.
Thank you! September 11, 2008

Thank you for finally getting the Tribune on the Kindle! I checked the newspaper section on Amazon every couple of days until it was finally there. I currently live in NYC, but I'm from Chicago, so it's great to get the hometown coverage that I love! There aren't any pictures, but it has all the articles that I want to read.
Nice job! September 2, 2008

Finally a paper from the Midwest! and you picked the best paper in the Midwest as well. Article lists and section listings make this easy to move around. Newspapers on the kindle cover 90%+ of the paper but leave out comics, some charts, and pictures but if you are a text person and want to actually read the newspaper- this works fantastically. A great job.
