Online print newspapers are mostly difficult to read on your tablets because they are usually large PDF files, offered online as a poorer alternative to your actual print edition, or the carefully formatted online editions. However, this doesn't need to be the case. Online print editions can an easy read as well, especially if you can zoom in and out as you please and flip the pages just like you do with the actual print editions.
Newspaper (http://paper.saush.com) is an attempt to provide this flexibility. The basic benefits to your viewing experiences as compared to their original publication sites are:
- Simple navigation -- just tap the left or right borders to flip to the previous or next pages, and pinch-zoom to view specific sections
- Fast response time -- every page flip is very fast
- Direct access to your newspapers without multiple steps to navigate to where you want
All the newspapers in Newspaper are free newspapers -- the actual print editions are given out freely to the public. By helping to distribute these free newspapers better, Newspaper actually helps the publishers to increase their readerships. Newspaper itself is a free service.
