Fascinating! Thanks for confirming the existence of the problem, if in fact that's what we choose to call it. Like you, I plan to keep my paid subscription even though I appreciate what Newsline has to offer. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of ROBERT CARTER Sent: Sunday, May 05, 2013 7:26 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Kindle now accessible on IOS with Voiceover.
Hi Jamie, I have had a similar experience to yours. Mine is with the New York Times. What appears in the New York Times app which is a subscription is often quite different from what is in the NFB Newsline version. I have no idea why this is the case. While I have great appreciation for what NFB Newsline offers, I have found that I prefer the subscription directly from the New York Times. Of course, you have to pay for the subscription and NFB Newsline is free.
