HT in a new avatar

Hey guys,
I had posted something about Deccan Herald taking the e-paper route sometime back. But now my very own Hindustan Times and its Hindi clone Hindustan are also available in e-form. For the e-paper you just need to log onto epaper.hindustantimes.com and register. You can view the paper in printed format and zoom onto the stories. What more you can even hear the stories read out to you with the help of text to speech engine of the site.
Moreover, this gives you access to the current and previous six days editions at any given point of time. However, the editions beyond seven days are available only through subscription.
The electronic copy combines the best of the web and the print. You can search, email, print and zoom in on stories, pictures and even the advertisements. To read the ePaper, you do not need to download any fonts or install any special software.
The digitally processed electronic copy of the actual print edition allows you to zoom in on stories, pictures and even the advertisements to maximise your reading experience.
Access the editions any time, anywhere across the globe. In fact, the ePaper lets you read the editions even before the actual print editions are circulated. You can even access the newspaper Archives through the ePaper.
Keyword searches help you find the topic of your choice instead of scanning the entire edition.You can jump to article continuations with a single click and even share it with your friends through the email facility.
So, check it out guys. It's fun.
