The Sacramento Bee is a must-read for those interested in California politics and the Sacramento region. I originally wrote that the Kindle version is abridged to the point of uselessness. For example, on Sunday October 25, 2009 it only had 11 news articles and 8 region articles. No Forum, no Business, no Scene. The Bee has subsequently worked with Amazon to include most or all of their locally-written stories on Kindle, so it now includes enough content, including Business and Living Here sections, to suit my needs. I will remain a subscriber. The Kindle version does not (as of 11/4/09) include AP articles for national or world news, or even McClatchy (the Bee's parent) articles written in other bureaus like the D.C. bureau. So the Kindle version is useful for my local interests, but does not fully replace other sources of news as the printed Bee would.

Get Serious January 2, 2011
By Gary
If the Sac Bee is going to charge the price they do for the Kindle edition, they should include all articles from the daily paper. Sac Bee...get serious about online, or get out.

I was disappointed and somewhat shocked by the quality of the content for Kindle - I like the Bee printed, but the Kindle version was $0.05 of info for $0.50! And the content editing was poor, one article was invalidly formatted and ended up tacked on to the article before it so it didn't show up on the Content page. Very very very abbreviated format, don't waste your money.

Sacramento Bee
Very thorough and timely update of the latest news along with good editorials. Sports section was solid but unfortunately no box scores for basketball.

Not ready for prime time.
Clunky interface. I cancelled the Kindle subscription and now read it for free on my smart phone. The Kindle version really does not work well. Read more

Minimally Passable
Subscribed for ten months on the Kindle DX. I scanned the reviews here just before writing this, and it seems most people are complaining about a dearth of content. Read more

don't waste your money
very disappointed with the McClatchey paper (Sacramento Bee) don't waste your $6.99 a month. Try the S.F. Chronical much better Kindle product and it's a buck cheaper.

So bad I had to laugh.
I'm quite lazy and normally wouldn't take the time to write a negative review. But the Kindle Edition is bad enough to warrant me taking a few minutes. Read more

Are you kidding?
I paid for one copy of the Bee expecting to have access to local news and information. What I got was a few boring articles in a boring format. Read more

Nice Articles but Not As Good as the Paper Version
I have a normal paper subscription of the Sacramento Bee and I was glad I only purchased the digital version for that day. Read more

Poor Content
The Kindle version of the Sacramento Bee comes with a fraction of the articles offered in the newsstand version to the point of pretty much being worthless. Read more

Where's the meat?
I read prior reviews that mentioned some articles were missing. Nonetheless, I thought I'd give it a try. It's actually more the case that only some articles are included. Read more

Good paper
I've tried five Kindle newspapers so far. I think the Sacramento Bee is about the best Kindle paper I've read. Read more
