Title: Kindle Edition leaves much to be desired
Review: The content of The Atlantic Magazine is quite good. I tried out the trial subscription for the Kindle fire. I read "The Ally From Hell", about Pakistan, in the Dec. 2011 issue. It was a pretty well balanced and thorough look at that country's relationship with the U.S.My big problem with with the format and navigational problems with the Kindle edition.A stroll bar at the bottom of the screen allows you to find articles articles fairly easily.The pages are formatted to fit the Kindle screen. You have to resize it in order to read without straining your eyes.Unfortunately, using the touch screen to move from column to column is difficult. If you swipe left of right too quickly, you end up on the next page (which returns to the smaller page size). All in all, it's a fustrating way to read an article. You would be better served by subscribing to the newstand version.
