NewspaperDirect Comes to Kindle no comments
Just one day after NewspaperDirect announced availability for Sony ereaders the company is announcing the same for Kindlers.
The Kindle ereaders until now have had access to 80 newspapers in 6 languages. NewspaperDirect brings 1,400 full-content newspapers and magazines from 93 countries in 44 languages to Amazon’s ereader.
To access the new content, you will need to subscribe to PressDisplay.com and install their PressReader application on your computer. Your selected newspapers will then need to be sideloaded onto your ereader. Not as convenient as Whispernet, but this does make a lot more content available. Newspapers from NewspaperDirect should also have most of (if not all) of the graphics of the original, which in many cases are MIA in the current Kindle editions.
PressDisplay subscriptions for personal use are $9.95 per month for 31 credits (1 credit = 1 newspaper issue), and $29.95 per month for unlimited use. This is definitely a welcome addition to the Kindle; it would be nice if access to OverDrive were to come next!
