Will the PressDisplay mobile software designed for the Apple Iphone work on the new Ipod Touch (which seems to be the Iphone without the phone)?
If so, will Ipod Touch users be able to contact the PressDisplay site for reading with their subscriptions through the wireless interface? Will it be possible to download a newspaper for later reading?

PressDisplay.com does run on the iPod Touch using a WIFI connection so PressDisplay subscribers can access all of their newspapers from the iPod Touch.
There is no reader, however, for the iPhone or iPod Touch at this time, so you cannot yet download your newspapers to those devices. You can download them to your MAC, however, using the beta release of PressReader for the MAC.
Hope this helps…

Why does the PressDisplay edition of USA Today only have 8 pages, while the print edition has much more…as much as 48? Don’t you think you are misleading people by providing only a small portion of USA Today in comparison to the print edition?

Hello Thomas.
Thanks for pointing out that discrepancy with USA Today. We are sent a PDF by the publisher every morning with what they want to show in their digital edition on PressDisplay. The majority of our publishers send us an exact replica of their print edition. I can see, in the case of USA Today, that they don’t send us all the pages. That is disappointing…
I am very sorry about that. I have sent a note to the publishing group to see if they can convince the publisher to provide the whole paper in the future. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Are you planning to do a version of PressReader for Linux?
December 27, 2007 at 5:26 pm
Hello Iain
Thanks for your comment.
There are no firm plans for a Linux version yet, but I have sent your request to the product team to let them know that there are users who would appreciate having PressReader running on Linux.
thanks

I am also interested in having pressreader available for Linux. Now that ultra-portable laptops that run Linux are readily and cheaply available I think it would be a good market for you.
P.S. I have an Asus Eee PC (runs Linux by default) which has a reasonable amount of horizontal realestate, and would love to be able to switch my National Post subscription to digital, but cannot right now (as PressReader is win/mac only.)

Our library is currently intalling PressDisplay so that it can be used across campus.
They would like to provide off-campus access through our EZproxy web sever. Do you know if Press Display can work through EZproxy?

Hi John
To configure EZproxy for Library PressDisplay, please visit: http://www.usefulutilities.com/support/db/pressdisplay.html.

I’m also using Linux on my main PC and I have an eee as well so I’m looking forward to a ported PressReader application!

Yes, I too am very eagerly awaiting PressReader for Linux! The small tablets with Linux are so much less expensive, and I am holding off on getting PressReader until it supports Linux.
