I started reading the LA Times on the Kindle when it first was offered a
few years ago - then gave up on it. Re-subscribed early this year and
found the reading experience was much better. Then when it came out for
Android, starting reading it on my Xoom - better yet - color, pictures,
nicer looking than on the Kindle. Now the iPad Kindle app supports the
LA Times - and it's better than the Android version. Much better
response time switching between articles, and it looks somewhat nicer
also IMO. Much prefer reading the LA Times on the Kindle or any of the
Kindle apps (but especially the iPad) vs. real paper or on the web site.

For example, I'm a big LA sports fan. I get the inside stuff on all of the local teams. And the sports section usually has 20-30 articles every day. Political issues, either locally or statewide, opinions, and arts/entertainment make up a bulk of the newspaper. I read it almost "cover to cover".
The cost doesn't bother me. It's what you pay for well written, Pulitzer Prize winning, news. It's well sourced. And it's high quality. I'm willing to pay for that quality.

I have subscribed to the LA Times from almost the first day that it was
offered on the Kindle, and it is part of my morning life while drinking a
cup of coffee. Since I'm in Los Angeles, and if I want to keep up on
the local scene, there really isn't much better choice than the Times.
It's the only newspaper that I'm willing to read from cover to cover.
The New York Times or Wall Street Journal have some articles that are of
interest of me, but never the whole paper.

It's good enough, but it could be much better.,

I've been using the 14 Day trial Kindle subscription to various
newspapers (New York Times, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, and
Los Angeles Times). I thought at first that most should be pretty equal
in quality but was seriously mistaken.
Living in Los Angeles, I ended up choosing and keeping the Los Angeles Times subscription for it's coverage of California news and Calendar section. However, I noticed a (very) significant difference in quality from the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times to the Los Angeles Times. The aforementioned newspapers rarely (almost never) have typos or grammatical symbols in their articles. The articles are nicely formatted and are very consistent. This is not the case with the Los Angeles Times. While the information is pretty much there for the Los Angeles times, it is very evident that there is a lack of quality in the Kindle edition. I want to like it and the articles are very relevant to me as resident of Los Angeles. The Kindle edition is maybe 80% there.
The editors of the LA Times need to put in more work into this Kindle edition to bring it more in line with their competition. Please look at the quality of the New York times and Wall Street Journal and try to match it (no typos, add pictures and charts, no formatting errors, etc). I'm still a subscriber to the Los Angeles Times but I have seriously pondered switching to either the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal simply for the quality of both their articles and the quality of their Kindle editions (the only thing keeping me as an LA Times subscriber is the California section and the Calendar section in the newspaper). Hopefully the editors can put in the required effort to make this a quality publication. I definitely want to like it and would like to see it improve.

Did not see the LA Times Kindle edition fix the negatives mentioned above. I have canceled the subscription. Will probably subscribe if the LA Times staff puts the effort into fixing their Kindle edition.
