In response to Gameboy:

When you sign up for the subscription, you can view the full newspaper in your web browser. You select a newspaper and it confirms that you want to use one of your credits to view the full paper. You don't have to use the external pressdisplay program unless you want to download the newspaper to read offline.

Viewing the newspaper in the web browser is kind of like using a PDF-viewer. To download to your e-reader, you click on the floppy icon (save as) to choose to download as an e-reader file. It asks you which type of reader you have - Sony, Kindle, Aluratek Libre, and a few others are listed - and then it formats it for that reader. For the Sony reader it simply creates an EPUB. You then save the file to wherever you want on your computer and then load it to your reader by USB (though I guess you could just save the file directly to the applicable folder in the reader if it is hooked up by USB, but I haven't tried that yet). I assume the procedure would be the same for the Kindle since you can save it as a Kindle-readable file.
