Noam Chomsky has said of Kindle, "The magazine has been a welcome regular source of lively and informative commentary and discussion."Shyam Benegal has praised it as "a refreshing change" in that it offers "perceptive, intelligent and thought provoking articles on subjects ranging from politics to literature to history and humanities in general. The best part of the magazine is that it challenges… the prevailing mainstream culture." Humanitarian activist Binayak Sen has noted that "During this short period, Kindle has set up a trend of taking up interesting and relevant issues and of dealing with them in a radical and rigorous fashion." Actor Farooq Sheikh said he has "rarely seen a magazine with a more well deserved and swift upward graph in terms of quality and reader acceptance."
The special issues typically follow a theme or a cover story around which much of the content is organized, and usually features at least one in-depth interview with a prominent scholar or policy specialist on the cover story subject. The interviews have featured Shyam Benegal, Zoe Heller, Dibakar Banerjee, Mychael Danna, Edward Smith, Mallika Sarabhai, and Shobha De amongst others. Regular issues carry other interviews and opinion pieces, photo essays and reviews of books, music, art or other cultural events. The magazine occasionally publishes poetry and short fiction. It also publishes separate editorial, informational and creative content online, along with articles from its print issues. The bulk of the content tends to be expository and analytic pieces.
