 The best news source I have ever read August 29, 2010
Ben Simpson
Papers have never been in vogue with the internet generation- but then came the kindle. The first thing I got myself was a sub to the NYT; just like any self respecting American (not knowing anything) would do. I was fortunate enough to hear a professor give reference to the FT's as one of the most respectable and most direct news sources- boy was he right. I have been loving the fresh prospective. Before all I could read about was Dems vs. Repubs. Now I get to read about the whole world! I would recommend this daily to anyone who is serious about news!
 Not like the real FT, not like the online edition July 27, 2010

Let me add this first: I got the FT in paper form in switzerland which is expensive (5 swiss francs per issue which is around 4.50$) so the kindle edition is a good deal for me.
However it doesnt feel like the reading experience on the paper edition. First thing, it lacks images which is kind of a pity because there are caricatures in the print edition. Also on some articles the author is missing which is also a bit annoying, especially when the subtitle reads "further information about the articles, writes .. 830 words" - something like that shouldnt pass quality control. Also the paid online subscription has more articles and comments through the blogs so if you get it via Calibre each morning you have more content. However this is effort and I enjoy having the newspaper delivered to my kindle automatically. Verdict: solid performance but needs improvements.

Online cost = $180/year. Paper cost = $100/year. If costs were equal, Kindle would win. But the premium is not worth it.
Buyers Beware! No holiday issue delivered Memorial Day! May 31, 2010

So far I like the newspaper itself. Perhaps I can more properly review it after having read it for a while longer than I have.
My problem though is worth mentioning I believe, and it is that the Amazon product description page ("The Financial Times US Edition is published Monday through Saturday."), and the subscribe page (something like deliveries 'daily, except Sunday') are *not accurate* or truthful!
Today is Monday, May 31, Memorial Day in the US, and I did not receive an issue. I naturally thought that this was some kind of an error because of the misinformation I had read here on the Amazon site pages. So I proceeded to go to the Kindle Support staff and waste a really sorry amount of time and energy/effort and expense to Amazon, doing truly tedious routines (including restarting my Kindle) before the second guy I was relayed to finally hit on the real 'issue' (hoho!) -- there'd been no issue at all for today of The Financial Times!
If only I'd been given the correct info and known properly what to realistically expect, all that wasted time, effort and expense could have been so easily avoided! I have written to the feedback feature on the FT page and really hope for some kind of appropriate resolution to this unfortunate situation.
Would give 5 except for price May 18, 2010
