This package comes with the E newspaper + the Physcial Newspaper.
it started yesterday 1/June and the physical newspaper was delivered to my house.....
NEWS is deliver....
After trying for almost half a monh, these are my opinions:
Negative-
1) E Newspaper - need to download on every issues..
2) Need to zoom in and zoom out ....
3) Cannot use when the iPad is use by my wife...
Positives:-
1) Easy to flip and bring everywhere ...
2) Can look back on previous news...
3) There is a voice readback.. so you click the mode and you could listen to the news instead of reading it.. I use it when I want to go to sleep.. so I just listen to the news..
just click the button and it will read out the news..
4) Saves some trees
Have a lovely Saturday....
i think the world now has gone to everything digital or electronic already lah..
ReplyDeletei saw even the Times magazine also offering the physical mag and e-mag package.. but i don't have iPad lah, so maybe not really suitable for me..
ReplyDeleteas you say even iPad need to scroll and enlarge, then my iPhone lagi more troublesome lor.. haha!!
ReplyDeletebut then i really agree that the pros overshadow the cons lah.. most importantly can save the tree and easier for storage if go electronic mah..
ReplyDeletebut then sometimes do you think it's feel like "more real" when you really have the physical paper to flip rather than flickering on the screen?? :p
ReplyDeletethe file is quite big on ipad. have to wait awhile then can read le.
ReplyDelete"I had subrice the eSTAR".. did you mean subscribe instead??
ReplyDeletebut i wonder how much difference is the eSTAR compare to Star Online?? are the contents the same, just that the eSTAR is exactly having the same layout as the physical paper..
ReplyDeleteoh, the "read out loud" feature!! that's something really cool, can just listen like listening to the newscaster.. errr, i'm curious whose voice is that?? Patrick Teoh?? haha..
ReplyDeletethat seems wonderful but i would i am not really into reading news... since i dont get to see any good news in my country. have a wonderful weekend :)
ReplyDeleteit's another way for the star earn $$ ~
ReplyDeleteI just browse online newspapers, not just local but overseas too... All free, no need to subscribe. Good enough for me.
ReplyDeleteWe change the office subscription to this package. It's cheap! xD
ReplyDeleteheh, it's good that you still subscribe to newspapers, no matter whether it's print or digital. at least you keep up with what's going on in the world (that's what my grandfather would say) :D
ReplyDeleteI'm subscribing to the e-star too... no wait, it's my parents. Anyway, my only about it is that it only supports up to 2 devices only.
ReplyDeleteI still prefer the conventional style of reading, the newspaper because my eyes gets very tired looking at the screen via e-star.
ReplyDeleteI still prefer to read newspaper rather than e-news. I can't live without reading newspaper every morning .
ReplyDeleteI don't like it cos physical paper is included.
ReplyDeleteLike that where got save trees? XD
I dont subscribe too..save me some cash to pay for my streamyx.. hahaahaaa
ReplyDeletei love e-news for the purpose of not having too many papers stack at home. would be able to opt out of the paper delivered also to your home? or is it part of package too?
ReplyDeleteit is part of the package..
Deletecost is RM260(USD81)/year with eNewspaper + Newspaper...
Save some trees, very good! ;)
ReplyDeleteagree with you on the negative points...
ReplyDeleteI have iPad too but I still prefer to read the real newspaper. I even read them briskly in traffic jams which is a normal thing everyday. I agree that someday we have to go paperless in every possible way but I read online Star every morning just to see the main headlines!
ReplyDeleteSo, The Star is like your bedtime story book lor?
ReplyDeleteI wrote to the The Star telling them if they offer me just the e version and at the same price as the bundle I will consider... the point of me reading 'e' news is that I want to save some trees, but with both the printed and e version, it defeat the purpose...
ReplyDeleteHubby said news in The StaX all is LIE :P
ReplyDeletestill, sometimes I do buy newspaper and read. and digital copy of news "paper" I think need to use iPad to view it more stylish lol
