Product Description "The International Magazine of Events," or Time, is considered America's first weekly news periodical, founded in 1923. It covers a wide range of subject matter from politics to the entertainment industry. Since the magazine's inception, Time has been known for its annual "Person of the Year" issue. It is oftentimes controversial, counting Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin among it previous recipients, recognizing the individual or group that has had the most impact on the world stage.
The Kindle Edition of Time contains most articles found in the print edition, but will not include all images. For your convenience, issues are auto-delivered wirelessly to your Kindle at the same time the print edition hits the newsstand.
Not for me!October 25, 2008 0 out of 4 found this review helpful
I consider myself somewhat middle of the road. I knew this was a left leaning mag but thought they might at least attempt to be non-biased in some articles. Wrong! This is too far left for me. Not crazy about the format either.
Did not seem to have as much content as the hard copy.September 22, 2008 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
I read the Kindle version of Time in very little time. It did not seem to have anything in it that I could not have read for free searching the internet. I have to question the wisdom of any form of weekly news magazine in the age of the internet.
Not worth paying for news you can get for free on the Internet.

dont like itAugust 23, 2008 too abbreviated. also no pics or charts. looks like Time did a very minimalist job on this project and made themselves look bad in the process.
The missing illustrations aren't quite the problemJuly 13, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Well, I mean, yes they are, if that's the sort of thing you like. What creates a problem for me with regard to the artwork is that there are numerous times where the text will refer to an illustration or chart that isn't there. That's the part that bugs me, because the effort to digitize the whole magazine for the Kindle overlooks the fact that once in awhile you may NEED the accompanying artwork. Tables, for instance, are converted to text and are basically unreadable unless you really want to study them.
Time also has a quick overview of events (it's called "Pop Chart") of the week which are laid out on a scale from "Shocking" to "Shockingly Predictable". We get this scale as a list, so we don't really get the feel for the scale itself.
But graphics aside, you do get the entire magazine and a good depth of coverage on some of the bigger issues that you wouldn't get in a daily newspaper.
