Frankfurter Allgemeine (Kindle Edition)
Product Description
The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) is a national German newspaper, founded in 1949. It has a daily readership of more than one million and is the German newspaper with the widest circulation abroad. Available in the German language and predominantly liberal in its viewpoint, this paper prides itself on regularly featuring conservative commentators to elicit lively but balanced debates about regional and international politics.
The Kindle Edition of the Frankfurter Allgemeine contains most articles found in the print edition, but will not include all images, tables and stock quotes. For your convenience, issues are automatically delivered wirelessly to your Kindle so you can read them each morning.

(excuse for the many grammatical mistakes I am bound to make in my review below, but I shall practice my german.)
FAZ ist eine der besten Zeitungen aus Deutschland. Ich lerne Deutsch seit vielen Jahren, und habe immer gewuenscht, eines Tages die FAZ zu abonnieren. Trotzdem ist es immer einfach zu teuer gewesen, die FAZ in den USA per Post aus Deutschland zu bekommen.
Aber Kindle hat alles geändert. Jetzt kann ich jeder Nacht, gerade als die Zeitung in Deutschland erscheint, die FAZ auf Kindle lesen. Fuer Studenten und Deutschen die in Amerika arbeiten ist Kindle einfach ein Traum Produkt. Zwar kann man Faz.de, spiegel.de gratis benutzen, aber das Gefühl jeder Nacht die aktuelle Zeitung in der Hand zu haben ist traumhaft.
Der anderer Reviewer hat geschrieben dass er nur nach einer ein-tagigen Verspätung die FAZ auf Kindle lesen kann, aber in meinem Fall ist es sicherlich nicht so. Ich bekomme meine FAZ sicherlich vor den meisten Deutschen.
In dieser Kindle FAZ Ausgabe gibt am Tage ungefähr 60 Artikle. Ich bin nicht sicher ob diese Auflage jeden Artikle der normalen Ausgabe umfasst, aber für mich ist die Kindle Ausgabe völlig ausreichend.
Ein großes Problem für mich ist dass Kindle jetzt kein deutsches woerterbuch anbietet. Mein Deutsch ist nicht so gut, deswegen bin ich ganz abhängig von Woerterbuecher. Bitte, Jeff Bezos, gibt mir ein Deutsch Wörterbuch!
Es würde doch noch besser wenn man überall in der Welt die FAZ per Kindle abonnieren könnte. Ich würde auch sehr glücklich sein wenn Amazon ausserhalb die FAZ auch die SZ, die Welt und der Spiegel anbietet.
thanks for reading my review.

I have been purchasing this paper about once a week for the past four weeks. Since I don’t read it every day, the price ($0.75) is perfect on a per-issue basis. The format is easy to flip through and it is just as good as reading a paper on-line. The reason I only give 3 stars is because of the delay. For whatever reason, when I’ve clicked on “purchase current issue,” I’ve often received the prior day’s paper. Since Germany is ahead of us timewise, I find this a little odd. It is also a bit irritating not to be able to buy as “current issue” the paper that’s being sold on newsstands.

neat to have available
i wouldn’t use this often enough to subscribe by month or year, but it’s really cool to be at an airport and think “hmm, I’m bored, I’d like to read Frankfurter Zeitung” (or…

The FAZ is great. I had subscribed to the print version and it was not only expensive, but a labor of love to read (as it was often a week behind the times). More choices in German would be much welcomed by this user. Books, newspapers and a dictionary. I don’t think I will be able to give up my print Spiegel though, expensive as it may be…

If you speak Deutch(German) this paper is a must have.
This paper is the best link to what is going on in Germany, Europe and the world; from a Deutchen perspective.
