UK papers The Times and The Financial Times have joined the increasing list of publications that are offering their services on Amazon's Kindle reader, even if the technology is not available in the UK.
The Times, owned by News International, and The Financial Times, owned by FT Group, are offering the e-paper editions at a monthly fee of US$ 14.99 and US$ 9.99, respectively.
Other papers that have Kindle versions include China's Shanghai Daily, Frence's Le Monde, The Irish Times and Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine.
Germany's Deutsche Telecom announced that it plans to develop a portable e-reader that could be in competition with Amazon's Kindle.
