hi,

i use pressreader on the dr1000 and it is one of the main apps for me to get my daily dose of the indian newspapers. overall, i would rate the experience as very satisfactory and would recommend it. looking at the whole page, the size of the screen is big enough to read the headlines and to read the article i just zoom in. page turning a bit slow but acceptable. once in a while the reader app hangs up but not very often.

what i do is set up my download on the PC before going to bed and first thing in the morning just copy the downloaded newspapers on to the device. yes, it is a slow process to transfer - i transfer 4 newspaper on a normal daily basis but as i am not watching it, it is ok.

bottom line : great app and great use of the device. go get it.

hope this helps.

best regards,

/bazmi.
