Foreign Language Newspapers on the Amazon Kindle
The big news lately has been the decline of the newspaper business in the United States. Many newspapers have all together shut their doors and stopped printing. Most other newspapers are at least struggling.
While I admit, the Kindle is not the cure all for the newspaper business, it does provide an alternative and viable way to read a newspaper. The Amazon Kindle currently offers subscriptions for 37 newspapers around the world. Most being from the larger cities in the United States, however some come from Nations and Cities abroad.
