Indian Newspaper does free online e-paper version
 The Deccan Herald (click on "Direct Access Click here"), has gone online. That wouldn't be very interesting, except that they did it in a rather adventurous manner.You really have to look for yourself to see (this link might get you directly in), but you get a full view of the actual newspaper. Move your cursor over an article and it has a brief text popup about the article. Click on the article and you see the article as if it was in print. There are more tools for each article available that I haven't explored yet. If you register, it seems that you can also get customized versions of the newspaper. On the main login page (no login is required to view the paper), there is also a list of some other publications that are also available online, including magazines. Most of us won't be able to read much from those, however, because they aren't in English. I don't believe that this is the right paradigm for putting a newspaper on a computer or mobile device or dedicated e-book reader. But it is interesting to see publishers exploring options. Sometimes you have to try some mediocre ideas before you can zoom in on the right approach. |

Just a quick remark :
the thread is quite old, the original message was written on the 2006-09-23, 17:16. No reproach in my post, I just wanted to make sure you had this fact in mind. |

Do you spammers think we're stupid? In particular, "James Nelsen" the poster currently before my post added insult to injury by taking a previously hijacked for spam thread and adding more spam. I can't believe that anyone actually follows the spam links...

Is there any way this thread can be deleted? It seems to be a spammer magnet for some reason...
