Epaper: out of date feature from Koran Tempo?

A couple of days ago, Indonesia ’s one of the most respected newspapers Koran Tempo launched Epaper, which is basically an e-book service. As their official blog said:

Pembaca yang budiman, Koran Tempo menyediakan layanan baru berbentuk e-paper. Layanan ini untuk sementara bisa diakses secara gratis di sini. Apa kelebihannya? Anda bisa menikmati edisi cetak Koran Tempo seperti versi aslinya di web. Nantinya, layanan tersebut akan pindah alamat di ePaper dan harus berlangganan.

I cannot say that this is a breakthrough in (new) media business. First, because a PDF ebook technologically does not offer any new features. Second, it’s a late decision since one of their competitor such as Media Indonesia has done it long time ago (just check out the Format PDF link on the top of the page). Not to mention the Kompas Gramedia group with its megaportal.

However, I will appreciate it if they make this feature free forever :)

    mungkin benar media sudah mengeluarkan e-papernya, tapi ketika mau lihat harus bayar dulu, 25 ribu, mendingan kita beli versi cetaknya aja cuma ceng go yang pagi atau seceng yang siangnya. Mengenai epaper koran tempo saya harus mengklarifikasi mengenai masalah berbayarnya, sejauh ini komitmen tempo adalah gratis!!! hidup gratis
