this out, yesterday Divey sent me this link about the epaper edition of ‘The Hindu’! This is refreshingly close to the real newspaper. Digitisation of books, magazines and newspapers is gaining prominence on the net. This latest move by the Hindu brings the ‘actual’ newspaper into your computer. Currently, the service is available free of cost for a period of three months. The Hindu seems to be building another revenue stream with this service. The logical question that comes to mind is – who will pay for this, when a free edition is available in the web page format? I would, if I can get to read the paper like it is physically then I wouldn’t mind paying for it; besides, we don’t know for how long the free edition will be available.
