The San Francisco Chronicle has set up a new electronic edition of the newspaper that is an exact replica of the printed paper and can be read on any computer, Kindle or iPhone.
In
addition, articles in the new "e-dition" can be translated into one of 11 languages and readers can hear the stories read aloud if they wish. The Economist also recently introduced an audio edition
of each issue, in which subscribers can listen to every article.
To help drum up a new generation of digital readers, The Chronicle's electronic edition will be provided to about 25,000
Bay Area students and teachers in a program paid for by corporate donations.
