"The introduction of the preview edition of the GlobeReader gives our home delivery subscribers access to new and exciting ways to read The Boston Globe both at home and on the go," said Chris Mayer, SVP circulation and operations.
Susan Hunt Stevens, SVP digital, added, "GlobeReader is another important step toward our goal of being able to publish The Boston Globe on whichever platform our readers and advertisers value, and builds on the success we've seen with other platforms such as mobile devices and Kindle."
GlobeReader is designed for people who truly enjoy the experience of reading the news.
-- It's organized into sections familiar to Globe readers.
-- The navigation is easy and clear.
-- Scanning for stories or photos is fast.
-- Articles are set in the same type font as the paper and the page design is understated and clean.
-- Readability features include adjustable type size and screen size.
The Globe's new digital newspaper was built with Adobe Flex and Adobe(R) AIR(R), key components of the Adobe Flash(R) Platform. While online, GlobeReader users can search Boston.com for expanded features such as slide shows, videos, interactive graphics and more.
"Leveraging Adobe(R) AIR(R), the new GlobeReader showcases the future of digital publishing and helps The Boston Globe to deliver a highly readable experience with a closer, more consistent connection to subscribers regardless of what computer operating system they use," said David Wadhwani, general manager of the Platform Business Unit at Adobe Systems.
For a limited time, access to GlobeReader is included with all subscriptions to The Boston Globe. Subscribers have been invited to provide feedback to help the paper further develop 'e-reader' products. Advertisers, too, have been invited to participate in the early stages of GlobeReader.
