Product Description

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is considered the foremost daily serving the city of Atlanta and its surrounding suburbs. This Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper combines the editorial staff of the former center-right Atlanta Journal and the more liberal Atlanta Constitution, which merged in 1982.

The Kindle Edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution contains most articles found in the print edition, but will not include all images and tables. Also, some features such as the crossword puzzle, box scores and classifieds are not currently available. For your convenience, issues are automatically delivered wirelessly to your Kindle by 5:30AM Atlanta time so you can read them each morning.

Good value July 4, 2008
By Porter
Let me begin by expanding on Amazon's description of what you do and don't get compared to the dead tree version. You don't get anything in map or table form, such as weather, comics, TV listings, puzzles, or sports standings. You also don't get some syndicated features, such as Dear Abby and other advice columns.

You do get all the special local sections. The AJC publishes a daily Gwinnett News for newspapers distributed in that county (a holdover from when there was a competing newspaper there). You also get all the weekly local sections for other parts of the metro area. Contrary to what another reviewer wrote, you do get the Sunday paper, but it's missing some material that doesn't originate with the AJC, such as Parade magazine.

As for the quality of the AJC itself, it is not a world class newspaper and doesn't try to be. It relies almost entirely on wire services for national and international events, and coverage of state and local issues is sometimes brilliant, sometimes nonexistent. It's coverage of local business and real estate is certainly good, though, and sports coverage is outstanding. There are a couple of excellent sports columnists, and coverage of SEC and ACC college football is extensive and year round.

The newsstand price of the AJC is now $6.50 a week, so the Kindle version is certainly a good value. Overall, a very good way to read a decent newspaper.

By M. Mann
I was subscribed to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I enjoyed reading the delivery when it came out. The problem is that at least one or two days a week Amazon has a problem with the wireless delivery and the Kindle edition is not delivered. Each time they send a note that they are working on the problem. This has occurred for many weeks now. Until Amazon-AJC get this problem resolved I would not recommend this.

AJC July 25, 2008
The AJC's kindle edition is very good (and does include Sunday's edition). The problem really is that the newspaper itself is not the greatest (especially compared to the other national papers). However, if you live in the Atlanta area, you can't beat it. You have free access on the internet but the convenience of the Kindle for $5.99/month is definitely worth it.
