Attention Kindle owners: The Guardian & Observer are now available
I have had a Kindle for a couple of years now but have always lamented that my favourite newwspaper from the UK wasn't available. Well, now it is. To those of you that haven't seen what proper journalism looks like I highly recommend it, to those of you that do, I also highly recommend it.

Just thought I'd pass it along as I had almost given up hope that it would ever be available for Kindle...

4. I don't think it should matter which one you have...
...all of their periodicals offer a free-trial period before their subcsriptions start as well..

2. Fat lot of good
if your only use for our newspapers, as is mine, is to the line the cats litter trays.

Do you have to buy them for Kindle or are they free ?

10. Husband &I love our Kindles, both of us are
avid readers. There is so much available to read. We recently took four boxes of books to the libray for the annual book sale. No more books piling up, or trips to book store.

11. Yeah! I just got my Kindle last week.
My husband's business travel finally worked to my benefit. Capital One reward points turned into Best Buy gift certificates turned into Kindle. Oh well, if he can't be around at night, I'll always have a good book...and now the Guardian.

12. I've been considering buying a kindle now for a couple of weeks.
This might just make that decision closer.
