Once zoomed in, transition to the next page was fairly easy--I had to double-tap the page to return to original size, and then tap the right side of the screen and the page turned. On the new page, I had to zoom back in.

All in all, it was about what I expected--not overly pleasant, but possible. Of course, I think it's still easier than reading a paper newspaper on a train.

Dear Shalym,

Thank you for taking the time to test these two files

I guess these information will help everybody that has an online subscription for these newspapers and intends on finding a better reading experience other than a phone or pc.

I guess it's easier to read because of the size of the kindle compared to the actual paper newspaper, but I don't actually have a clear understanding of how does a page look like on the kindle screen if you say that "it's unpleasant". I know it's hard to come close to a mobi novel like experience.

If you do not mind, could you please tell me for both files how many columns can you see on the screen when you zoom to max ? Does landscape help in any way ?

Cheers !
