Anyone Get Newspapers Or Books On KINDLE?

The recent thread on Sony's eBook reader got me looking into Amazon's Kindle.

I'm still not sold on spending money to buy ebooks - I still like having a library of physical books on my shelves, to happen upon and re-read, pass on to other people, etc.

But I started thinking about getting my newspaper subscriptions via Kindle.

I've no interest in saving newspapers, and not having to recycle mounds of newsprint every week would be nice.

They are cheaper on Kindle too. NYT 7-day/week is $57.60/month at regular home delivery price. On Kindle it would be $9.99/month. That is a $571/year savings! More than enough to pay for the Kindle hardware.

So - does anyone get their daily newspaper via Kindle? How do you like it? I gather the images are lousy (4 grayscale), but do charts/tables come out okay? Is the content the same as the print newspaper?

Any feedback on Kindle for book-reading is fine too. Thanks.

P.S. - I realize you can read the NYT free online. I'm not into eating breakfast at my computer, though.
