I love my newspaper

happy_terd · 01-15-2010, 01:52 AM

I love my newspaper (LA Times) which is available as a subscription on the sony ebook store site.

Question. Are ebook newspapers any good? Looking for people with opinions who went down that path with any particular subscription to an E-newspaper purchased on the sony site.

Using the built in functions of Calibre I download the Guardian (UK) when I leave home too early for the newsagent. Totally free and pretty good - all 3 sections of the paper with a good content and navigation system. Some recipes (as Calibre calls them) for US papers as well but don't know about subscriptions

You can test newspapers from Sony's eBook store 2 weeks for free.
Given touchscreen navigation and more pictures, I prefer Sony's newspapers over Kindle's. But still far from perfect, in my opinion.

I like the LA Times on my Sony Reader 505 a lot actually. I'm in LA also and am glad to see it offered. You can buy a single issues and test it.

Also check Pressdisplay.com as they now allow all their papers (almost) to be exported to Sony Readers and I love that too. Including LA Times.
