The current version certainly continues the tradition responsibly but adds online videos and photos that couldn't be included in the paper edition. It's therefore somewhat more modern and user friendly. Still, it offers insights and details not available in electronic or broadcast media.
One nice thing about the Kindle edition is that it cuts out all the ads and it's cheaper than the print edition. I used to dislike reading tablets compared with paper editions, but I've now adapted. More importantly I recently found the Sunday Times much easier to use than a paper edition while reading on the beach. A friend with a paper edition was struggling against wind gusts while I was calmly reading without issue.
I recommend the Kindle of the NY Times without reservation.
On the Kindle Paperwhite. you will see little issues like subheadings that are not bold; references to past articles in the current article you are reading but no hyperlink to easily connect to the past articles; errant HTML tags; and a lack of graphics...I can live without the images but the experience is hindered when an article references a chart that is there on other devices but not on the Kindle.
I reached out to the NY Times about these issues. I got a response back suggesting I upgrade to a tablet and that the Times wasn't really focused on e-readers. This response is shocking for a couple of reasons: first, the newspapers are quick to bemoan the declining readership but are, I would imagine, disregarding a sizable amount of their readership bc they don't feel like developing for e-readers. Second, if you are unwilling to provide me with an experience akin to a tablet, why am I paying $19.99 a month like tablet users? Perhaps we should be made to pay 10 bucks instead...there should be some cost to the Times for their lack of effort...or better yet, I can find a newspaper that takes presentation seriously for ALL readers.
The things I like:
1. The price - if you're subscribed at 19.99/mo., you pay ~0.66/issue (taxes not incl.) for a month. If you're not subscribed, it's 0.99 an issue (again, taxes not incl.) versus the print edition being 3.00 where I live. The Kindle edition doesn't include the puzzles, which I'm fine with (I mean, seriously, try getting that to work on an e-ink device). To me, the price for what you get is more than fair.
2. Automatic delivery at 0530 NY time - in the same fashion that a paper gets delivered to your door, this gets delivered to your device, assuming it's connected to the Internet. No hassle; delete when finished. It's stupidly convenient and better for the environment.
3. The layout - the various sections are accessible by reading the articles that intrigue you and tapping them to read in detail. No flipping and creasing the pages (possibly in close quarters pre-COVID, anyway) in hope that they will stay.
5. Functionality - The articles turn like pages in a book. No flipping back and forth to continue reading. Simply tap the screen and the next article is waiting.
The things I don't like:
1. Content management - this isn't even the Times's fault, but I wish Amazon would allow deleting old newspaper content from the Cloud.
2. Sometimes the image resolution can be subpar but it's not a dealbreaker for me.
Overall, a great experience for someone who prefers NYT and likes using a Kindle.

Sure, not every single article that the print edition has makes it onto the Kindle version, but you get plenty there, from the front page, international, national, business, op-ed, and other supplements like science and others. What I like about the writing style of the NYT is that, very often, once the initial story has been outlined, a few paragraphs will be set aside to outline the context and history of the story, so that its wider implications are clear.
A great paper, and a joy to now receive everyday.
