Well I am just trying the Star trial on my WiFi.

Today's paper has 9 sections; News (33 articles) / Editorials (11 articles) / Opinion (4 articles) / Business (14 articles) / Entertainment (8 articles) / Living (6 articles) / Greater Toronto (15 articles) / Special Section (4 articles) / Sports (18 articles).

I see no sign of the puzzles and even if there were, am not sure how they would be done (at least on my WiFi :P ).

I have a Globe Subscription and seem to recall I have access to at least 2 weeks of back issues on the Kobo. Now you can ONLY read these on the Kobo; the desktop application is not able to view the subscriptions. Also, I do receive the Globe 6 days a week; I will let you know next week how many Stars I receive.

At least with desktop 1.x you could see the individual days downloads on the desktop; with 2.x I could not get that to work at all, and was just told to use the website to manage my subscriptions.
