Review: The Times is Great but the Kindle app lacks a little

I LOVE the NY TIMES and have been a at-home subscriber for 10-12 years, but that method is not cheap.  Two people in our household have iPads and starting reading it there.  I liked what I saw and when I got a Kindle Fire HD I switched over.  I still love the Times but the iPad app is nicer - it looks like the paper's front page - whereas the Kindle app is not as nice.  I still believe all the content is there and I read it daily and I love the fact that it costs only a third of home delivery but I do miss seeing the front page view.  On the Kindle it comes up as a series of stories.  Once you click on a story, then you do get the pictures and it looks even better than the newsprint because of color but believe it or not I miss all those gorgeous full page adds in the Times!  There are no ads on my Kindle version but the iPads do get some kind of ads but not the ones in the hardcopy paper.  I give the Kindle App 3 or 4 stars but the Times itself always gets 5 stars from me.  You can't get that news anywhere else.  I hope Amazon improves the app so that my iPad family members can stop snickering!
