Product Description
"The International Magazine of Events," or Time, is considered America's first weekly news periodical, founded in 1923. It covers a wide range of subject matter from politics to the entertainment industry. Since the magazine's inception, Time has been known for its annual "Person of the Year" issue. It is oftentimes controversial, counting Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin among it previous recipients, recognizing the individual or group that has had the most impact on the world stage. The Kindle Edition of Time contains most articles found in the print edition, but will not include all images. For your convenience, issues are auto-delivered wirelessly to your Kindle at the same time the print edition hits the newsstand.

too abbreviated. also no pics or charts. looks like Time did a very minimalist job on this project and made themselves look bad in the process.
 The missing illustrations aren't quite the problem July 13, 2008

Well, I mean, yes they are, if that's the sort of thing you like. What creates a problem for me with regard to the artwork is that there are numerous times where the text will refer to an illustration or chart that isn't there. That's the part that bugs me, because the effort to digitize the whole magazine for the Kindle overlooks the fact that once in awhile you may NEED the accompanying artwork. Tables, for instance, are converted to text and are basically unreadable unless you really want to study them.
Time also has a quick overview of events (it's called "Pop Chart") of the week which are laid out on a scale from "Shocking" to "Shockingly Predictable". We get this scale as a list, so we don't really get the feel for the scale itself.
But graphics aside, you do get the entire magazine and a good depth of coverage on some of the bigger issues that you wouldn't get in a daily newspaper.
 Democratic Rag May 14, 2008

There's nothing wrong with being a news magazine with an agenda to forward the Democratic Party as long as you 'fess up to it. What is wrong is purporting to report the news with no bias when nothing can be farthur from the truth.
For an illustration in honesty in publishing, check out National Review. Readers may not agree but at least they understand what they are purchasing.
Love Live Prada! Oops. I meant Time Magazine.
Terrible Format but Convenient May 7, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Pretty much all has been said. The content, which is the most important aspect is the same as the print edition - I.e. enjoyable and interesting. But it's incomplete without the pictures and charts, and absolutely terrible formatting spoil the experience. That said, for $1.49 what do you expect? So, I've kept the print edition, but at this price I've also kept the Kindle edition for convenience. If Time wish to charge more, they'd better get their act together with the formatting though. Let's hope enough interest is generated in Kindle to make it worth their while.
