Being up to date with everything that happens on the planet is vital to be informed. The Internet and certain services, including social networks, have made it possible for us to be the second of the news wherever it happens. Whether through Twitter, through some of the digital media or aggregators such as Meneame, if you know how to use your smartphone, you can almost accompany the journalist when the news is released.
In this world that does not stop evolving and bringing new ways to inform yourself, you always have to be open to new services such as the one proposed by PressReader. A service available on Web, Android, iOS, Windows and BlackBerry and that for those who read many newspapers, look for all kinds of sources or simply want to know what the most important newspapers on the planet are talking about, it can mean, from today, a simply fabulous tool. PressReader brings you all this from the comfort of your smartphone, your tablet or your laptop.
All the information in the world at your feet
The first thing to make clear is that PressReader is a Freemium service. You already know this business model that offers a large part of its content for free, but to access the other you have to go through the box. This freemium model means that to access everything the service offers you will have to pay $ 30 or go through a "HotSpot", which unlocks the 5.000 newspapers and magazines from around the world that you can access.
That is, if you want to know the Italian version of Wired magazine or learn more about the local section of the Washington Post, PressReader is for you. It gives options for those who have moved from their hometown for professional reasons to keep up to date with what is happening by reading the newspapers in their area. This is its great strength and for which it distances itself from other similarities. When a few years ago on the Internet everything that happened anywhere was accessed, with this location that has been around for years, now the content is focused wherever you live.
A service to keep up to date with what is happening on the planet
PressReader is a service to keep abreast of everything that happens on this planet. When the news tends to focus on what happens in Spain, PressReader puts all the newspapers at the table with that large number of them. So you can opt for different points of view to the one offered in your country for the same news that can be seen in the opposite way from the other side of the pond.
One of the advantages of PressReader is that you can bookmark newspapers and magazines you want to take them to the phone app and thus have all those stories well collected. It even allows sections of those posts to be bookmarked for great customization.
In addition to the $ 30 a month service to have all 5.000 newspapers and magazines, you can visit the "Hotspots" locally. Here in Spain there are fourteen distributed throughout the country and are usually in bookstores, hotels, airports or shopping centers. We assume that they will open more as time goes by.
Those points of attention will allow you free access to the local catalog that has the service in your country, so if you stop by the Carlos III University in Madrid you will have a wide repertoire of magazines and newspapers. Anyway, as I said, the service is free to access certain information and if your thing is to be up to date with what is happening without the possibility of going through any of those Hotspots, 30 dollars is the monthly subscription.
You can stop by the web to access the information In a direct way and find the links to all the apps.
