With so many people using the internet and computers, it's no surprise that some of this nation's large-circulation newspapers are read online. The New York Times is one of these companies that have different ways for someone to read an electronic version of the paper. But it's the Times Reader that could triumph all versions.

The Reader is a joint production between the Times and Microsoft founder Bill Gates. The electronic form of the popular newspaper features a seven day archive, a slideshow of news pictures, and the ability for the user to control the font size. Above all else, the Reader syncs with a computer. So if your internet is not working, you still have all the latest news.
It promises to "read like the real thing." And yes, it still includes advertisements.
