Hi Florian, why not give us a live presentation at one of the upcoming Web Mondays - if you're interested please send me a quick note. Thanks

Feedback™

There are far too much ™s in your post. I guess naming your product 7 times is all about SEO. If you want to enter the Swiss™ market try it in a more charming way.

Re: PaperNow™ - The Next Generation of E-Papers

Hi Florian,

There's a newspaper in Italy called Il Fatto Quotidiano and recently founded by very famous italian journalists. They are by manifesto very Internet-friendly, and permitted "electronic subscriptions" along with the paper version ever since foundation, thus I guess they maybe a paradigmatic target for you. The "electronic version" they offer is twofold: you can access the PDF of any date, and you can use the "Internet reader" only for a limited number of past issues (but that may be a contractual limitation).
As Internet reader they use this third party platform:

Its flash-based interface allows to browse through contents or "skim" through the newspaper, which is displayed in its original "paper pagination" to allow readers to give/get the appropriate references.

What does PaperNow add to that?
