ABBAO--Free E-newspaper
By Fei Xiang on April 07, 2009

ABBAO.CN is a very professional free e-newspaper website. If you like reading newspapers, I’m sure you will be enchanted by the charm of the website. Once you enter the homepage of the website, dozens of kinds of diverse newspapers will pop up.
 
ABBAO.CN distinguishes itself from other e-newspaper websites for its unique function of supplying original newspapers. A lot of e-newspaper websites just list the headlines and the most important news according to their classifications and categories, which is convenient but the problem lies in that you will never know what you have omitted unless you can read the original newspaper. There must be some articles which you are interested in are omitted for you are not the editor of the website after all. ABBAO.CN is unique in that it displays every newspaper and page faithfully to you. You can read page after page, news after news, just like reading the paper-made newspapers. This feeling of reading original newspapers is not only familiar but also fresh to you, which is far better than that of reading the condensed version. There is another website called “15525.com” that provides original newspapers but needs the readers to download special reading software, which is less convenient than ABBAO.CN for which the latter you can read original newspapers directly on the internet.
 
What’s more, the newspapers supplied by ABBAO.CN are numerous and diverse, such as People’s Daily, Global Times, Xinhua Daily Telegraph, Yangcheng Evening News, China Sports Daily, China Securities Journal, etc. These newspapers range from news to sports, from financial news to evening newspapers, which are diverse and rich in contents. If you want to scan local news, there are also local newspapers for almost 30 provinces and municipalities, including  HongKong. These newspapers are all original, free and will be updated everyday to ensure that you can read the latest news. To make it more convenient for your reading, the website devises a tool box. 
 
Using this tool box, you can choose the font size. It is more comfortable for the aged people to choose the largest size to read. You can also choose the “page preview” function to scan all pages at the same time, which is convenient for you to find out your favorite pages at once. From the “shortcut keys,” you can get some tips for you to read newspapers with your keyboard. For example, you can press Alt while using your mouse wheel to adjust the page size, which is very practical. Besides, the latest and newly added newspapers are listed chronologically at the right side of the homepage of the website. In addition, the website has the forum for the readers. You can put forward your own opinions of the development and construction of the website on this forum. Also, you can advise to add your favorite newspapers which can not be found here. You even can say anything as you like here. Although the website is not big, it provides complete and diverse service. Compared with this website, "15525.com” doesn’t have the forum service, which makes the readers feel negative in that they can not do anything when they get some problems.
 
In addition, ABBAO.CN has another distinctive function, that is “newspaper cutting,” which can help you to cut a certain area of the page which you are interested in immediately, and convert it into the form of image. At the same time, this function can save the image into the server automatically, providing a reviewing-link for you. So, in this way, you can add the image you saved into your post, or send it to your friends conveniently, and of course you can save it in your own computer.

Nevertheless, this function is still not perfect. Some internet buddies have found that it can only save 8 pieces of pictures at most, and those pictures saved at the server can not be deleted. ABBAO.CN has promised to solve those problems. As far as I’m concerned, this “newspaper cutting” function is very useful, so this defect can not obscure the merits.


All in all, ABBAO.CN is a really nice website. However, it is regretful that some widely-spread newspapers such as Reference News, Sport week, are not included. Besides that, ABBAO.CN only includes the latest issue of newspapers, while there are three current issues of each newspapers in “15525.com.” At this point, the “15525.com” is superior to AB Newspaper. As for the construction of the website, there are still something more to do, while ABBAO.CN is glad to hear the opinions of readers. Ok, let’s call it a day. I’m going to read my newspapers.
