When I travel I have the NYTimes and my home newspaper delivered via Kindle. I got my papers via 3G while sitting on a beach in the Dominican Republic recently.

However, the Kindle editions lack many of the features of the print edition, and do not even have all of the articles. You won't see things like charts, graphs, etc. If you like the part of your sports page with standings and schedules -- forget about it. There is something about being able to spread a newspaper out and scan the articles that can't be duplicated. Curiously, I think I read more of the newspaper on Kindle, though. It kind of obliges you to go through one article at a time, and you can't just scan.
