Finally!
Finally, my absolute favorite magazine comes to the Kindle!If you are not familiar with it, the NYRB (not to be confused with the New York TIMES Book Review) allows its writers to use recently published books as a jumping off point to discuss and explain topics in current affairs, politics, science, the arts, technology, philosophy, popular culture and other areas. The viewpoint is often somewhat liberal, but everything is carefully argued and supported. No mindless doctrine or slogans here. The authors are some of the world's most respected scholars and writers. Recent contributors include Zaidie Smith, Freeman Dyson, Michael Rosen and Tony Judt. It produced the most carefully crafted, informed, and passionate argument against the 2003 invasion of Iraq I ever read. A truly marvelous magazine.

Happy to get the NYROB on the KIndle
Some publications work better on the kindle than others - for example, I'd rather have the Atlantic Monthly in printed form, because they have a lot of nifty maps and charts that graphicaly can't be reproduced on the Kindle (no color, for starters)! But I just got the NYROB on the Kindle and I'm enjoying it now - like the New Yorker, it's text-heavy, so it loses (almost) nothing on the Kindle. Plus it's nice not having to throw away all that paper into the trash 26 times a year after reading it! The only question is - what took so long?

Might be better than in print.
This is my favorite periodical and I have to say it is easier to read on the Kindle than in print. It is with me at all times and is great to read when I have a few minutes free or am riding on the train. The Kindle format is very good for text-based periodicals. The only thing missing are the ads, which are sometimes interesting for book ideas, but that is a small deficiency. I love reading on my Kindle and I would keep it even if NYRB was the only thing available on it.UPDATE Nov. 20: I'm now using a Kindle Fire for this subscription and it provides a wonderful rendering of the print edition, including photographs but not including ads.Update Dec. 27: Now includes the full print edition (including ads). You can still read in text view or view the actual print edition. Excellent value. (BTW, Amazon mistakenly sent the January 12 issue early and incomplete and gave subscribers a free month for the inconvenience. The full issue came on the scheduled date. Can't...
