Hello Phil & welcome to MobileRead. I also travel a lot -- in fact, I left my home on the 8th and won't return until sometime around the 4th of October. So, my Kindle & Sony readers are essential and "don't forget" items when I'm packing.
You'll find that Amazon has planned a subscription for newspapers, magazines, and even blogs to be regularly delivered to the Kindle. Sounds like those would easily fit the type of reading that you do. You may also want to check out Calibre -- a program that runs on your computer -- and see how it creates a "book" from an online news source. Some of the users are very happy with that as an alternative to Amazon's subscription services. I haven't used either because I prefer reading novels instead of short stories or articles.
We're very glad you've joined us here at MobileRead and hope you'll find any help that you need. We'd like to hear from you once your K2 arrives -- let us know what you think of it, what you're reading, etc. And, be sure to check out the books which have been uploaded to our own "library" at
