English language Newspapers in Beijing

[cm1]

Does anyone know of anywhere in Beijing where you can buy English language newspapers eg. The Times, The Guardian? I much prefer reading a newspaper to a website. Even a day old paper doesn't really matter.

Most international 5-star hotels (e.g. Shangri-La, Grand / Park Hyatt, JW Marriott, Westins) have counters/shops that sell foreign newspapers.

I would recommend buying a Kindle! Do they even have them in China? It isn't a newspaper, but still way better than the computer screen and you can read a lot of different papers. Good luck.

Amazon says he Kindle does not get service in China. I was going to buy one, but it seems they won't work.

You can't get automatic Kindle wireless 3G delivery of reading material in China. However, you can download anything you buy onto your Kindle, either manually or via WiFi.

Not the same a reading a physical book or newspaper. However, it is a lot cheaper than buying the imported copies.

wait how much is a kindle....?

YOu can get a used one for $200 on Amazon; I'm sure they're cheaper on Ebay.

I'm pretty sure a new one for $139 is a slightly better deal than $200 for a used one Which you can find here

I think most English newspapers have their website electronic versions, right? I know Wall Street Journal has online version, even cheaper than the paper version.
