PressReader will be available for Kindle Fire no comments
NewspaperDirect’s PressReader for Android app has landed at the Amazon Appstore for Android and will be available for the Kindle Fire. NewspaperDirect offers over 2,000 newspapers from 95 countries and in 51 languages that are fully reproduced in full color.
The PressReader app itself is free and new customers receive seven sample issues for free. Individual issues of newspapers and magazines can be purchased (usually for $0.99 each), or you can pay a monthly subscription fee starting at $29.95 that lets you download a number of issues per month.
Some of the PressReader apps features include:
- Creation of monitoring alerts to notify you when a particular topic has been written about.
- Subscription to automated downloads of favorite titles.
- On-demand audio narration.
- Flip, pan, rotate and zoom articles and photos.
- Text-only view for easier reading of articles.
This definitely adds to the amount of content that will be available on the Kindle Fire. The Zinio for Android app is also available at the Appstore and brings thousands of digital magazines to the table. So far neither of these apps are available for B&N’s tablet.
