*2025-07-18*

This is a very affordable newspaper.  There are some local news articles, which I really appreciate.  I like to read the news without the immediate energy of the internet.  The e-paper isn’t as satisfying as a real paper, but no one seems to want to deliver anymore.

### 5/5 — Works Well

Works great, not too many ads, most articles are free to read. Please do not change the UI.
