Do you read The Washington Post regularly? If the answer is NO, I'm about to let you in on a secret.
Here it is: You're missing out on some quality, in-depth, and thought-provoking journalism. The Washington Post tackles the news you need and the stories you want. Undaunted by American 'taboo' topics, The Post tackles critical social issues, like poverty and homelessness. It addresses these topics with dignity, giving voice to shunned and hidden social classes, like our fellow Americans who battle addiction, poverty, and criminalization of the very issues that plague them.
Written and presented in a clear, concise, and user-friendly format, The Post is formatted to engage and capture you completely. Take a moment today to take advantage of its month-long trial subscription. Trust me, you won't regret it.
Oh, one last thing! Keep an eye out after you subscribe for the coolest little gift I've encountered from a news or magazine company. (Hint: It has something to do with your birthday.)

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite newspaper! Excellent Kindle edition!
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2013

The Washington Post is fabulous on the Kindle. We live in the DC area and subscribe to both the daily paper edition and the Kindle edition. I find myself reading the Kindle edition more often. The way the articles are laid out is so much easier to read then flipping through the paper edition to find the articles you want. If there are articles with a lot of photos then I'll refer to the paper edition (the Kindle edition does have a few photos too just fewer). My husband doesn't have a Kindle which is why we still subscribe to the paper edition, otherwise I might be tempted to cancel it. I love the feel of reading a real newspaper sometimes, but if I want to read my news more quickly, then the Kindle edition is great.

The Kindle edition really is the digital format for which I've been waiting. I intensely dislike most newspaper's websites. It is often difficult to navigate, everything is a bit jumbled together with random ads and I find it difficult to find the day's news since everything is rapidly changing. I don't just want to know about the instant news, but also the smaller but still important things that happened in a day. Websites all too often focus on the immediate. So the Kindle edition is fantastic because it's structured yet still static (so if I want to read an article later on, it's still in the same spot, not moved off the front page.)

Just something to keep in mind when considering a subscription ($11.99 month) vs. purchasing each issue individually (75 cents): The subscription issues automatically delete after a few days (the individual downloads never do) so you have to manually save the issues you want. The individual downloads save in your cloud if you delete them, but the subscription issues are gone forever and not saved in the cloud. The only advantage of a subscription is a slight cost savings and automatic delivery. Other than that, there can be quite a few drawbacks. I personally like revisiting old issues for past stories, so it bothers me that the subscriptions automatically delete old issues. Just a note: the way subscriptions are processed is an Amazon quirk that the Washington Post doesn't control, so it's not a criticism of the Post itself. The Washington Post is my favorite newspaper and I'm just delighted that their Kindle edition is so good.

(If you have any questions about Kindle edition or paper edition, respond in comments and I'll try to answer.)

This makes it so I can easily get a properly formatted copy of The Washington Post on our Kindle paper white. It updates daily and makes it so you have a fresh copy every morning. I know mainstream media has taken a few criticisms lately, but my relationship to this newspaper goes back to the university library in the 1970s. When the Watergate story was breaking, this was the go to source. Of course, that was when people cared about objective reporting and complete BS didn't have much of a following.

Long time Post reader.
Superior in so many ways to to the print edition (a hassle to get where I now live), Choice of showing a facsimile of days print edition and/or updated top stories.
In both cases many of the articles and editorials have a 'comments' feature that loads immediately: get the chaff along with the grain and the occasional troll.
Also subscribe to digital editions of New York Times and Guardian. Guardian has a US centered edition but retains a very strong international presence that, unlike the other two, is not geared to 'team America'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice option for reading the paper
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2012

Have been using the Press Reader app on my iPad with an e-replica subscription to read the paper. It's a great option that allows me to see an exact replica of the paper. Unfortunately I have the original iPad and the app no longer works very well - crashes regularly.

So, I tried the Kindle version. It's missing some content and doesn't have pictures but its far easier to read. I especially like the design of the table of contents. Plus, the ability to adjust the font size makes it far easier on my eyes.

I'm suggesting a rating of 4 because of the price. Since canceling my print subscription the Post regularly sends me special offers for around $2/week for 7 day delivery. The e-replica version was about $10/month and provided an exact, full color duplicate of the print version. Although I'm sure there are costs associated with reformatting the content for the Kindle it seems wrong for this version to be the most expensive given the reduced content.

Overall, the Kindle version of the Post is an enjoyable, convenient option - assuming you're comfortable with the higher subscription price.

There is so much misinformation out there, it's nice to still have some legitimate journalists and legitimate
news providers we can depend upon. They double- triple check their facts and if they get it wrong...they say so and print corrections. They, as well as another well known news paper, do a lot of investigative reporting and uncover many things we, the people, need to know about. Many blue collar crimes and unethical behavior are brought to light. The only problem I have is when I start to read a newspaper, I go from one article to another and the next thing I know hours have passed. In this day and age though, it's great to trust what you're reading.
