Just tried the "Export to eReader" option. It actually looks rather nice...
The new PressDisplay software can export a newspaper in ePub, Mobi or their own *.np format. Pictures and such are optimized for screen size depending on the device type.

Their is "social" DRM: your username/email is printed on the second page of the document. **make that: in every header of each page**

Only problem I see is that, they must parse the text from the original pdf file they received from the original newspaper. If you export it in the *.np format you preserve the original layout.
A big plus for the epub/mobi export is that the filesize is much much smaller: typical 2-4 MB versus typical 20 - 40 MByte for the *.np format
