Description

For more than 160 years, The Atlantic has been the premier magazine for coverage and analysis of current events, international affairs, and culture. A great deal has changed since Ralph Waldo Emerson, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, James Russell Lowell, and Harriet Beecher Stowe planned the first issue in 1857. But since its inception, The Atlantic has given voice to some of the most provocative ideas of its time, from Henry David Thoreau's blunt naturalism to Martin Luther King's calls for justice. Today, the magazine maintains an unwavering commitment to publishing authors whose ideas help move society forward. The Plastic Logic digital edition of The Atlantic contains most articles and some images found in the print edition. For your convenience, issues are auto-delivered wirelessly to your reading device at the same time subscribers receive paper versions in their mailboxes.

    • The Atlantic is a great magazine. But it doesn't work well on Kindle.
To be clear, this is not a review of The Atlantic itself, to which I would wholeheartedly give five stars. It's a review of its incarnation on Kindle. Yes, subscribing through Amazon is ever so slightly cheaper than getting a "real" digital subscription, but the format does not lend itself -- at all -- to reading on a phone, and you don't get access to the Atlantic website to read additional articles. I am grateful for the 30 day trial, although it took 29 days, 23 hours, and 45 minutes less than that for me to pull the plug and go for the "real" subscription instead. All of this is particularly surprising to me because I do most of my reading on Kindle. But in this case (and maybe for other magazines as well), it just doesn't work particularly well. ... show more

    • Intelligent and forward thinking
I like the Atlantic with a grain of salt. What makes this magazine fantastic is the combination of informed imagination and impeccable research. I would not call The Atlantic a news magazine because their best reporting is not on what happened last week but on what might happen next week. That, of course, is a huge generalization since they also dive deep into past issues (I still remember this incredible exploration they did of Obama's disastrous decision not to enforce the "red line" in Syria's gas attack). But, in general, for me, their best stuff is when they look both deeply and imaginatively at the direction current events could take us. It's speculative, and therefore not "news" but always fascinating even if not necessarily informative (or an accurate prediction). For example, they recently published an entire issue dedicated exclusively to observations about democracy in the United States. They looked at the foundations, the turns, and the future possibilities during and after the Trump era. They're smart enough never to present these speculations as predictive; they tend to be presented more as possibilities or warnings. The editorial board is critical in all things, but, like the New York Times, has a distinct cant to the left. ... show more

    • Balanced, topical, great read
As far as I am aware, you can access all of the Atlantic's online content free (with some non-intrusive ads). I still choose to pay for a Kindle subscription because I want to feel like I am contributing to great journalism. The Atlantic is mostly balanced, always topical and well edited. It gives me, as a non-American, a grown-up perspective on what goes on in the US; and it has plenty of content that stimulates the mind of a world citizen. I hate classic left-right classifications of socio-political views because there are way more than two types of people in the world but, as crude shorthand, I would say The Atlantic is intellectually left-leaning with a conscience that does not elide thoughts that come from the right. It also wears its deep thinking lightly and engages you in conversation rather than lecture. I don’t want to name other, more popular magazines or newspapers from the US that much of the rest of the world rates higher than The Atlantic – let me just say I’ve been there, done that. ... show more

    • Great content, terrible format
I subscribed to the Atlantic because I think its a great magazine. Unfortunately greed seems to have overwhelmed sense in the choice of how the magazine is presented. Instead of a standard Kindle newspaper/magazine, this arrives with pages presented as they appear in print, with an obscure procedure for switching to the text of particular articles. On a small screen, the full-print-content pages are completely unreadable. And finding articles is a complete pain. Then seeing the text in ebook format is confusing. It was so painful that I had to cancel this subscription and instead subscribe through Google on my android devices. ... show more

    • It was excellent. I felt I understood the man better
First time I bought a magazine on line. I wanted to read the story abut President Obama. It was excellent. I felt I understood the man better, and admired how he stayed true to his principles. He's been proved right so many times, and I just say a quiet thank you. I went on to enjoy the rest of the magazine. My sister subscribed, and I will be sharing. The only problem for me was navigating. It took me a while to find the article I wanted. There must me a better way than turning every page to find what you're looking for, but I'm not smart enough to find it on my own. Help! ... show more

    • Thoughtful analysis, timely and accurate --and it's also a pleasure to read.
The Atlantic Monthly is very good at identifying the topics that are profoundly important in politics and society. Atlantic writers are often ahead of the curve. I'll read something in the Atlantic and find that two months later, it is all anyone is talking about. The articles are long enough to be meaningful but not so long that I have to carve out time. There is a lot out there that is a waste. The Atlantic Monthly is well worth the time and money. ... show more

    • Informative and Timely
I have read Atlantic Magazine for many years. The writers for the Atlantic are intelligent, do their research and report on issues that are important today. I first picked up the magazine in my doctor's office and hated to put it down. So I have been a subscriber ever since. It makes you think about what matters. Maybe a few more people need to be reading it. I highly recommend it for people with thinking minds. ... show more

    • Looks great on an iPad
I subscribed to the Atlantic for years and cut back on it and most magazines to eliminate clutter. I've missed the great articles and the great writing. Although I use my Kindle for reading, and really like it, I decided to use my iPad for reading the Atlantic. Using the page view option makes it very easy to read as the articles look like a book on the iPad. Also the pictures display well on an iPad. ... show more
