I'm not sure it's all that much better than reading it on the web but:
Requires XP/SP2 or Vista, 1 gHz processor, 384M or even better 512 MM
memory, Net Framework 3 (already included in Vista, will automatically
download if required)
Current version is beta 0.1.0.5
Requires a free web name/password (cypherpunk/password cypherpunk is
the best known one if you don't want to register)

Don't miss a thing
"What's Read" allows you to quickly see how much of the paper
you've read and lets you easily navigate to unread articles.
*
Browse the "News in Pictures"
View a slide show with all of today's photos and click on a
specific photo to read the related article.

Make it your own
Use tools to save, print and e-mail documents. You can also
highlight and annotate passages within the text of articles.
