As a subscriber, you receive the newspaper in your mailbox every morning. But this time it's your electronic mailbox, not the one in the street. However, as eReaders also have a web browser , the eNewsPaper wil have to provide a superior experience (content quality and relevance, navigation, exclusive photos...).
