Kindle + New York Times newspaper = yay or nay?

[3d]

TiUser,
Have you compared the Kindle version of the NYT with the printed version? Are there whole articles missing from the Kindle version that appear in the print version? And are the present articles printed in it's entirety copywise? No edits to the copy. Missing images is acceptable.

I can see how there will be a few screens of click and scroll to get to the article. Scroll to NYT>> click>>Scroll down to sports>> click>> scroll down to NBA section>> click>> scroll to Knicks suck article>>click>> etc.

we have one in the office. its hard to explain to people how much better the display is for doing large amounts of reading over a regular computer screen.

Years ago I briefly looked at the reader Sony was selling and recall it being very crisp. I take it it's not a traditional number-of-pixels comparison when describing the "resolution" these things have. Otherwise, a good laptop would be at least as good, right?

I have not actually compared them side by side. However, I did read on the Amazon Kindle forum that some articles, blogs, and crossword puzzles are missing from the electronic version. I am pretty sure the main articles are there or at least the ones that I care to read. I rarely read an entire newspaper, often skim numerous publications, blogs, news feeds, etc., and only read the ones that I find interesting. Personally, I got the Kindle to read novels and some magazines (I am trying out The New Yorker right now) and will not get the device solely for NYT or any other newspapers unless I have a long bus/train commute or I don't have access to computers.
