NEW DELHI: Leading English daily Hindustan Times said on Thursday that it had become the first newspaper to be available globally on Kindle, Amazon.Com’s best selling e-reader.

Readers of the newspaper in various parts of the world can now have Hindustan Times delivered daily in near-paper-like form, it said in a press release.

Kindle - which has already reportedly sold more than a million units on Amazon - is an electronic reading device, which can download books and periodicals wirelessly in a very short time. These books can be read in a paper-like display.

Many of the leading global newspapers and magazines are available on Kindle. Mr Sanjoy Narayan, Editor-in-Chief, Hindustan Times said, “Putting Hindustan Times on the Kindle will now enable readers across the world to get access to the paper wherever and whenever they want to, in a convenient easy-to-carry format.” - PTI
