But nothing beats holding a real newspaper though.

The subscribers also receive a separate newsfeed from AFP (a PDF file also updated every hour) and some books (for example travelers guides)

What it strikingly absent from this video is the user taking notes or copying text from the paper... ]]>Sep 14th 2007 7:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/Le Monde offers a electronic sibscription to a FULL PDF of their paper, with none of this DRM crap for €15/month.

You can read it on almost anything, full color, full graphics. Exact smae laout as the print.
More importantly, you can save them on your hard drive and search for anything you like with Google Desktop for example.

DRM sucks, and I don't want to pay for content which could be unreadable in 3 or 5 years because the hardware manufacturer went bankrupt.

So in essnce. good idea but too expensive and DRm really gives it the blow of death]]>Sep 14th 2007 7:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/Sep 14th 2007 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/Sep 14th 2007 7:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/Sep 14th 2007 7:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/For example you when you read an article, you can check the updated stock market graph below the article on your device (even if you are offline of course). ]]>Sep 14th 2007 7:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/Sep 14th 2007 7:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/Sep 14th 2007 8:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/Sep 14th 2007 8:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/

So if an accident/fire/terrorist attack is going to happen at 10pm and later be reported in the next day's 6am edition, you'll know about it at 9pm and be able to avoid it. Awesome! (Now... about those lottery numbers...)]]>Sep 14th 2007 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/Sep 14th 2007 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/ Nope NHAnimator ... The same edition is updated every hour after 6am, it means the same file receive new stories till 9pm. In fact at 6am the edition is almost what you get with the print edition.

> Oshean, I m fine with Engadget but we're not talking about the same kind of stories. Even an Engadget reader can understand that, right?

It's like an extra crappy laptop. I already have one, which can play videos in full color, store my entire photo collection, my email and the entire Internet with social networking. BTW, I paid $900 for this perfect TabletPC with touchscreen.

Somebody said we will read newspapers like this in future? I say future is much brighter then that ;-)

Have you seen HTC or iPhone lately? ePaper could have been of some use 5 years ago. Not today. Way tooooo late.

As for a single place with all the newspapers, nothing can beat http://www.PressDisplay.com and you pay just $9.95/month to access all 500 newspaper replicas. Think!]]>Sep 14th 2007 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/14/french-newspaper-goes-electronic/Oct 26th 2007 6:48AM
