Official launch for New York Times 'Reader'

The digital version of the New York Times, known as Times Reader, is being officially launched in eleven days' time, following the beta trial launched last September. It will be free to the paper's home delivery subscribers, but other people will have to pay $165 (£85) a year. The Reader, the result of a collaboration with Microsoft, is a downloadable version of the NYTimes that enables readers to either click through content as they would on the web, or to turn pages as they would the newsprint version. The Daily Mail is running a beta trial of a similar product, the Mail e-Reader. (Via Paid Content)
