Independent Newspapers goes digital
Independent Newspapers South Africa announced late last week the launch of its E-dition, a digital online version of the printed format available from anywhere in the world. These are enhanced with RSS feeds, social networking, blogging and more.

Readers can try a seven-day trial before subscribing to a monthly, six-monthly or 12-monthly rate, now on special offer before 1 January 2010.
