I downloaded 'USA Today' to test the graphics handling on the Kindle and they do include photos from the stories in the main text versions.
Maybe it depends on the newspapers?
The Independent (UK) definitely does too. I like that they don't limit it to photos on top. They include them in the middle of stories also, unlike the Kindle editions from Amazon.
But navigation is far preferable on the Amazon version. However, NewspaperDirect has 1,400+ newspapers while Amazon has 92 currently.
And you can can do a Kindle-style search on a keyword and see all occurrences of it in the full issue, offline.
They eventually will do wireless access for Kindles so at that point I hope they also improve the navigational routines.
I do like seeing the actual newspaper layout, and that free online reading of 2 articles per day from each newspaper is nice. I use other newspaper-collections, but they don't have the export-to-ereader functions.
