Being the voracious reader that I am, a library was always a small hillock to conquer. Thanks to the eBook revolution that has swept over us now, we now have peaks to scale.

Paywall Trend On The Internet [INFOGRAPHIC]
Being a former newspaper journalist, I can sympathise to a very large extent with the plight of print media. With the relentless onslaught of the Internet, and peoples expectations that "information should be free", print media is caught between a rock and a very hard place.

How To Read Magazines On Your Android Phone Or Tablet
I love reading. Given the amount of research I find myself doing here at MakeUseOf that’s not a bad thing, but recently I’ve found my office space becoming encroached with more and more magazines. The obvious solution is to bin them, but then I lose a potentially valuable resource. So it’s time to think outside of the box and choose the second most obvious solution - digital alternatives.
4 Apps To Read Magazines On Your iPad
I know, MakeUseOf provides you with more than enough quality reading material, but what if you're after something other than fantastic technology tutorials and app reviews?

Capture, Organize & Share Your Read Clips From The Web Or Amazon Kindle With Findings
If I have to give eBooks thumbs up for one thing, it is that the digital form of a book makes it dead easy to share such snippets or words of wisdom. Yes, you can even highlight sections in Technicolor and not worry about spoiling the ‘page’. Well, the tool we are going to discuss here doesn’t come with a yellow highlighter pen, but it does come with something even more powerful.
