The world’s press is presented in amazing clarity with PressReader on the new iPad’s Retina Display. Advanced sharing features now include popular clipping apps such as Evernote. Instant translation means subscribers can now read publications originally written in languages other than their own.

VANCOUVER Canada April 6 2012: As millions of iPad users unbox and enjoy their third-generation iPads NewspaperDirect has just released a significant update of its PressReader digital newspaper and magazine application which is now live in the Apple iTunes App Store. The latest version PressReader 3.1 adds a slew of new features that make the more than 2 000 full-content digital replica editions an even more compelling read on the iPad.

“The new iPad is a dream come true for people who enjoy the wealth of newspapers and magazines that PressReader has to offer. The breathtaking resolution of the new iPad Retina Display means that we can render razor-sharp text at any zoom level ” said Alex Kroogman CEO of NewspaperDirect. “Our new SmartFlow technology really shines at high resolution and the integration with the best clipping applications like Evernote raises the bar for every other news app out there.”

New features added in PressReader 3.1 include:
 PressReader is now optimized for the new “Retina Display” resolution of the next-generation iPad. Pages text views and images are rendered at 264 pixels per inch resulting in amazing clarity even when zoomed in.
 Instant translation of full publications in up to 12 languages is now possible when a title is opened. Or a reader can choose to auto-translate all publications into a specific language with the ability to specify language exceptions.
 Clipping App integration enables any article to be captured and synced across devices. Articles can also be emailed or shared using Twitter or Facebook.

“Clipping Web pages is one of the most popular ways of saving information in Evernote. PressReader does a beautiful job of extending this functionality making it easy for users to read and clip newspaper and magazine articles on their iPads ” said Seth Hitchings VP of platform strategy Evernote. “The Evernote integration is seamless and the clipped content can be searched and read in Evernote on any computer or mobile device. We recommend readers also try our Clearly app which creates an optimal reading experience for articles blog posts and any other content you interact with online.”

 SmartFlow advanced reading technology – a major innovation that led to PressReader being voted the “Best Newspaper App Ever for iOS.” SmartFlow goes beyond the traditional replica newspaper presentation by displaying articles as a continuous horizontal stream of stories that flow across the iPad completely transforming the reading experience.
