- It is unknown when these sites will go offline. It might be tomorrow, or they might try to squeeze as much advertiser money out as possible
- eedition.*.* (electronic version of print papers) require a subscription. The front page of the latest version can be viewed for free. A 14 day subscription option exists for some papers. change www to eedition to access.
- eedition is running newspaperdirect.com as their software. They are aspx pages. A pdf version
- eedition front page (only front page) can be printed (as an IMAGE - not text) to a printer (eg: pdf printer).
