We’re excited to announce that your e-Edition (digital replica) has changed. To help with this transition, we have prepared some answers to frequently asked questions and want to highlight some new and improved features.

Popular features such as double tap to zoom, one-click to open an article to read, printing and changing the size of the text remain within the app.
