Times, FT Join Indie On Amazon’s Kindle Reader

imageNews International and FT Group have launched The Times and Financial Times on to Amazon’s (NSDQ: AMZN) clunky Kindle e-reader, even though the gadget isn’t available in the UK. Priced $14.99 (£8.04) and $9.99 (£5.36) per month respectively, the digital editions come at a considerable saving over the dead-tree editions and are delivered wirelessly to the device each morning over Amazon’s US-only Whispernet service. The Independent was already available on Kindle, along with The Irish Times, Le Monde, Les Echos and Shanghai Daily. Via Kindle Reader.

The Kindle device is using RSS feed from the publishers’ websites and thus the newspapers’ editions are not complete.
