I like the International Herald Tribune, perhaps the most informative. Not all papers can be downloaded to the reader though. I send them an e-mail and they gave me a free month trial.
Yes, direct download by WiFi is the only thing I miss.

I'm with you: Local newspapers are only of minor interest.
But I'd like to see "Süddeutsche Zeitung" or "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" or any other of the major ones. And not "Deggendorfer Zeitung" (no kidding). The latter certainly is a professional local newspaper. But how many people does it reach? 50.000?
You can have the big ones on their own websites. But usually, it's just PDFs. And the fun, reading a newspaper in its original size (> DIN A3) on a 6" inch reader is rather limited...
