Great way to get global perspective
I appreciate the Times being on Kindle even though the Kindle isn't available in Europe - shows they are forward-thinking and also that they recognize not everyone in the US wants to get their news from US sources. I find the content refreshingly unbiased compared to what I had heard about UK newspapers - in short would recommend this to anyone wanting a regular dose of a supra-US take on what's going on in the world.

feels like reading a tabloid
I had high expectations for The Times when I subscribed. Now after two weeks, I've canceled my subscription. Astonishingly, reading The Times feels like reading a tabloid paper sprinkled sporadically with occasional real news items. I suspect the problem is that the paper edition uses fonts, placement, etc., to make it obvious which articles are important versus which articles are fluff intended to be merely humorous or quirky. In the Kindle edition however, it is impossible to know which headline refers to a meaty article versus which headline when clicked will lead to a dumb little blurb about a pig farmer who did something interesting with or to his pig. Due to the poor layout of this newspaper in its Kindle edition, I don't think it is sufficient to read The Times via the Kindle to be well informed.
My top Kindle newspaper choices, to all of which I subscribe, are The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post. I found The Times not to be in the same league as these other, truly world class papers, in large part because the other newspapers took the time and trouble to format their Kindle editions in ways that make them easy to know which articles are the ones that represent real news stories.
