NewspaperDirect comes to the Kindle, Sony
In two announcements released yesterday and the day before:
Quote:
NewspaperDirect Inc., the world leader in multi-channel newspaper and magazine content distribution, is making its entire library of more than 1,400 full-content newspapers and magazines available on the Amazon Kindle (and the Sony Reader) e-reader. Kindle users who subscribe to PressDisplay.com.com can now download any of the titles currently available on the world’s largest online newspaper and magazine kiosk, and read them in their entirety.
A subscription to www.pressdisplay.com is required. The free option seems to be somewhat useful, but I'd rather use calibre (more capable, less cost).

********
I feel the need to inject a little reality here. There is no mention of DRM or the respective ebookstores. Without these details I must conclude that this is actually a non announcement. The Kindle and Sony Reader are as compatible with NewspaperDirect as they were a week ago.

Also, why would anyone announce support for the Kindle without OTA downloads? What kind of nonsense is that?
