People access PressReader for a wide variety of purposes. Readers use the 7,000-plus publications on the platform to explore new languages, to hone their skills in the kitchen, and to plan their next vacation, among many other things.
But one of the main reasons people use PressReader is to stay updated with the news that matters to them.
Travelers, for example, might peruse PressReader during breakfast service to stay informed about what’s happening back home. Patrons who access the platform through their public library, on the other hand, might be looking for the latest information on a specific topic to support a school research project.
With newspapers and magazines from over 120 countries, and in over 60 languages, PressReader’s diverse catalog has news to cater to every interest. Plus, PressReader has four features to ensure readers never miss a story that matters to them.
Automatic downloads
PressReader users can get the latest issues of their favorite titles, downloaded automatically, as soon as they are published.
Readers can choose up to five of their favorite titles; when the latest issue of one of their chosen publications becomes available on PressReader, they'll get a notification that it’s available to read.
This feature also brings peace of mind to, and saves time for, businesses and institutions that cater to their guests newspaper and magazine needs the traditional way — relying on print publications to be delivered on time, ensuring that there are enough copies to meet the needs of everyone who might want to read them and then recycling everything afterwards.

Speaking of personal devices, PressReader also has a mobile widget available for iOS and Android.
