The folks at NewspaperDirect Inc. have launched 2 new versions of their very popular PressReader app. The new apps are for the iPhone and BlackBerry, and bring more than 1,300 full-content digital replicas of newspapers, magazines and more right to your device. Very cool.

Once installed, users can browse newspapers and magazines from around the world available from PressDisplay.com, the world’s biggest online newspaper kiosk. Download the publication, and read it offline whenever you want. You can zoom and pan around the document, access on-demand audio, navigate each publication via jump links, and much more.

Alex Kroogman, CEO of NewspaperDirect commented on the new apps:

“While other news applications offer limited website access or a reduced version of the publisher’s content, PressReader delivers the publication in its original layout with all of the content from its print edition, including advertising… As the mobile and handheld market evolves, we plan to offer PressReader on additional, new smartphones, e-readers or tablets, as they are announced. This includes the highly anticipated Apple tablet.”

Oooooh, Apple Tablet you say, huh? Interesting :)

You can pick up the PressReader app for free right now in BlackBerry App World and the Apple App Store (iTunes link).
