Official Amazon names are somewhat confusing that's why we have our own structured index.

The thing with these multi column text and image pdf newspapers is that you have to crop each section you are interested in . I combine scissors, briss, pdf masher etc

I use K2pdf when the cropping done beforehand is close to the real deal.

I've seen a youtube review for the 2014 Basic and was pleased to see that you can zoom a 2 column image and table pdf on the device just like on an Ipone.
And I was wondering how the Kindle would present my newspaper pdf without me having to adjust it beforehand.
The pdf is ok, very crisp text, you can highlight words. It's not like an image pdf or scan
Then I expect it should be all right.
But I still think you should make sure any PDF has been resized/cropped to the dimensions of the target screen.

Keep in mind that pretty much no E-Ink device does a truly good stock PDF viewer.
Something like KOReader is vastly preferable.


And E-Ink is slow when it comes to panning around images and PDFs.
