Among them, LA Times, Chicago Tribune and FT are now available, in its e-book store. Others such as New York Times, Christian Science Monitor, Denver Post, San Jose Mercury News, New York Review of Books and Barron’s will follow soon. Most of them are also available on rival Amazon (NSDQ: AMZN) Kindle. Some such as Dallas Morning News, the Providence Journal and the New York Observer are not available on the Kindle.
