Times Reader (beta)

The New York Times has rolled out a beta test of its new Times Reader, which is "a new, downloadable software application that lets Windows XP and Vista users read The New York Times electronically, online or offline, in a paginated format as opposed to scrolling down a Web page. Times Reader lets users retrieve all the latest news and photos (a process that takes about a minute) and read the content offline."

nHumanities has been using the Times Reader for the past few days, and we love it. The experience of reading text online has never been so good, much less reading a newspaper online. It works equally well on the desktop, a tablet PC, a laptop, or an ultra mobile device.

You can find out all about the new Times Reader and enroll for the Beta at the service's FAQ page.
