Looks good, but not sure if I would prefer to sit with a coffee and read the paper.

how do you get the paper version

Can't find worldwide delivery now.. perhaps this is now their global offering as cheaper to distribute.

I guess as we're on laptops it's nicer and easier to sit and read with a coffee.. but I'd have thought the access to info in terms of the jobs and rentals would outweigh the necessity for comfort :?

Great site Helen, Thanks!

Why do they only sell Mondays to Saturdays on the internet? Don't they have a Sunday Edition, or they just don't sell the Sunday Edition over the internet?

They don't have a Sunday edition of The Press - the Saturday one is the weekend one :P

Did you know that they deliver at 11pm NZ time on the day it is published? I tried to download the Wednesday edition hoping to find rental ads but was politely informed by the software that I could only download it at 11pm!

I wonder why? Especially since we are also paying for it!

Could it be a time-zone thing.. ? Hmm prob not.. drop them a line, that's a bit strange isn't it...

Well, nothing exciting on the job pages today :no

But it looks like possum hunters are in demand :?

Discovering new things all the time...

My Tuesday's edition has 3 blank pages and in place of the ads that were there, it says "Advertisement Removed". :eek

Have written to them about this...

:?

Let me know how you get on, I have just looked through their customer support site and it says nothing re advers etc. Although it does claim on first page that it is "exactly as the printed version" !!

Shagen - did you resolve the "disappearing ads" problem?

Yes and no Moorf.

They replied promptly though but said that they received it like that from the publishers and that there is nothing they can do about it.

Am just curious what they did not want me to see ;)
