So, if you purchase a subscription online, or on an iPhone or iPad or Kindle Fire tablet, you can read the content on all of them for one monthly fee. But if you have a kindle paperwhite, you have to pay an additional $11.99 per month. On top of that, you don't get all of the content.\nPuh-lease!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I absolutely love The Washington Post although I wish it were a bit cheaper. However, I trust this paper to give me accurate, factual news I can rely on. The articles are collectively depressing by the end of the week, but I attribute that to the dysfunctional climate in Washington. Thank you editors, reporters, and the entire staff of the paper for all you do.\nDemocracy WILL die in darkness so I'm glad you provide the light."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I lived in the Washington DC area for 30+ years and the Washington Post was a big part of my life. I have no problem with the WP Kindle version. I would have given it a higher rating for the content. My issue was that it could be downloaded only to my phone. Ever read a "meaty" newspaper on a phone? It\'s an arduous task. When I subscribed I thought it would download to my Kindle for PC so I could read it on my Microsoft Surface Pro. I would suggest that it be made available for Kindle PC. I would sign up again in a heartbeat!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'What I enjoy most about receiving the Washington Post for Kindle is that I can "read the paper" at breakfast while MSNBC is interviewing the reporters whose articles are appearing in the Post that morning.. I often find the Post too large for the time I have to devote to reading it. I\'ve been neglecting my personal rreading because it takes me so long to get through all the wonederful articles in the Post. I\'d like it to be "audible."'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'The Kindle version is missing many, many articles, that you will find in the Fire Table/App version and/or on the WP\'s website.\n\nHaving recently bought a new PaperWhite Kindle, I thought I\'d try this edition as it does come daily and is easy enough to use.... (And there is a free trial... So you can see for yourself) But I was very disappointed that for the 3 daily editions that I\'ve looked at, the Business section was missing completely and the Editorials are incomplete.... As well as many other stories missing.... You\'d think just the opposite should be true with any "e" edition of a major newspaper ... Should be easy enough to just include EVERYTHING that is in the daily paper. But NO, simply not there, missing, missing, missing!\n\nIn contrast the Calibre software running on WIndows or Linux "scrapes" many more articles and it\'s FREE, so that\'s what I\'m using and enjoying to read both the WP and the NYTimes on the Paperwhite.\n\nDO NOT PAY FOR THIS STRIPPED DOWN version of the great Washington Post. You will not get all the news that they do publish.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I'm three hours from Washington and every morning The Post is on my Kindle. I don't have to worry about snow or a bad storm not letting the delivery truck get over the Bay Bridge to deliver the paper to S. Delaware. I'm not using up trees and filling land fills. And the best part is I can get the LA Times, Herald Tribune, NY Times or the SF Chronicle the same way. It's a $1.50 in the Paper Vending box or the local Giant for the daily. I think it averages out to $0.40 a day on the Kindle"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'The WaPo contours to be one of the very best newspapers in the country.\n“Democracy dies in darkness”'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I've done this for a long time. I love it because I get the Washington Post delivered to my kindle with wireless no matter where I am. Great not getting the paper version. Great not having adds. Great having the articles as one item rather than have to go to page B-6 to read the rest of it and them get back. Negatives are no comics, photos are limited and black and white, sometimes the captions are screwed up on photos, and occasional text problems. All in all, I've thought hard about quitting and going to WaPO directly but the pluses outweigh the negatives. I'ld recommend it to a friend."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'The difference between a news paper, and yahoo news or google news or any branded headline designed to get your attention with real life sensationalism... makes the aforementioned not news. It may have good information, but too often the internet doesn’t meet the objectivity standard of yester yore. That said, this is the only place to get professionalism from the news. It doesn’t have to be this newspaper... but pick one that’s not affiliated with your opinions on women’s choices, or your right to have guns. Pick one that presents all angles of opinions you’ve already written back stories to. Have the courage to be informed. With the damage Trump has done to our value’s of free speech... and sickened our country’s sense of honesty. I urge you to check out a subscription. more people need to read news, designed to inform, instead of amaze. Trump, has single handedly changed the importance for everyone, especially the people who don’t want to cross their political comfort zone, or family’s traditional voting habits, to be informed with real objective information. To the people who think winter isn’t coming: you’re stupid... it’s here. If you’re Right, left, whatever. This is more than free speech... the white walkers are here. And they have zero qualms ******g with the constitution in the name of greed, and self adulation... Read, write, and fight. Staying informed is the first line of defense against what’s coming. And man, it’s coming.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I very much like the newspaper itself. But there are a few things about reading it on the kindle app for iOS that bug me. 1) When an article has more than one photo, only one is provided but I can read the captions which let me know what I'm missing. 2) I cannot copy & paste anything, including URLs that are given in the article. 3) the editor of the kindle edition falls sleep at work every once in a while, as there has been as much as an entire page of descriptor language before even getting to the headline and the body of the article. 4) Every once in a while an issue will download twice, but not really. I get two issue names. And one of the two cannot be dismissed but hangs on in the list of issues I'm reading. I need to clear away issues from time to time before my iPad becomes overwhelmed. But this bug doesn't let me on some issues."}]
