I've read Readers Digest for years and love it. Thought getting it on my Kindle would be great.Not so much! Compare the Kindle version as plain white rice to a full course meal. Wasn't hardly anything I liked about it. I think the table of contents should be laid out differently. Didn't like it at all. Listed the main component and you had to click and click to find what you want to read. Would have been much better to show the main catagory then physically print the subtitles underneath it as links. That way you could actually quickly "see" the article you'd like to read.  I thought the content was poor at best. Seemed like there wasn't much to the "magazine". Short articles and not very interestng articles. Loss of the picture content and short anedotes between the stories left me feeling very disappointed. I think Readers Digest needs to do much better. Especially since there are a lot of magazines going out of business due to the evolution of the internet and applications such as ereaders. The only think I did like about the e-version  was the absence of those pesky ads. I'm glad I only bought the single current issue. Come on RD....you can do much better!
