Spectacular start for NRC Handelsblad ePaper

Fri Mar 14, 2008 Karel Byloos

NRC ePaperIn almost a week, NRC Handelsblad sold over 500 ePaper subscriptions and iLiad eReaders. Gert Jan Oelderik, the managing director publisher at NRC handelsblad said he had expected to reach these sales numbers in a few months, so without a doubt this is a spectacular start.

Due to this large demand of the ePaper, there is currently a delay of a couple of days in the delivery times.

For more information see: www.nrc.nl/epaper

Update: NRC Handelsblad has setup a forum on which subscribers to the ePaper are welcome to share their experience and suggestion.

Update 2: For those who want to try and see how the NRC ePaper looks on an iLiad, you can download a full demo NRC ePaper here.

    Yes, NRC Handelsblad has setup a forum. They promised to periodically inform the users assembled there. There are some annoying defects in the ePaper version of the iLiad, but the users are not getting any information about it. Users on the forum are protesting and have difficulties surpressing their frustrations about the situation.
