I signed up last night as I thought I'd try this out for about a month to see if I like it. The service includes The Hollywood Reporter, which is what ultimately what made me sign up as I'm a bit of an entertainment news junkie. THR charges $19.95/month for a digital subscription, so for half the price I get a version I can actually read on my PRS-300.

I thought the layout was well done. With each paper page there is a small image of the actual page highlighting the article you are reading and then there are hyperlinks to continue stories that continue on later pages.

I like that I can also access the Edmonton Journal and the Globe and Mail among others.

As far as I can tell there is no DRM other than what pauli mentioned of your name and email being inserted into the header, so there shouldn't be any DRM-compatibility headaches.
