kindle 3 newspapers

kuliand · 09-20-2010, 12:26 PM

Does anyone know of any english newspapers for the kindle 3 (or 6 inch screen readers) that actually look like a proper news paper?

I have been disappointed that the newspapers in the kindle store are just basic documents that look exactly the same as the documents calibre creates from RSS feeds. I know the screen is small but you could design content that looks like a traditional newspaper with columns and images just not on the same scale as a physical paper.

If the newspapers want to survive the digital age then they need to produce content the is appealing and feels like some effort has been put into it's creation currently i would rather create a custom paper using calibre.

Sadly, the iPad is the best experience for a 'newspaper that looks like a newspaper' so far.

If it's just the content you're after, then Kindle's spot on.
