Rationale
PressReader is an online platform that provides access to thousands of newspapers and magazines. It offers a subscription model for unlimited reading (membership-monetization), allows users to listen to stories with text-to-speech features (audio-story-playback), and is available as a mobile app (mobile-app-access). The platform also supports sharing content and has search and discovery features, including categorization by topics (tags-and-topics). While it provides content, it doesn't appear to be a platform for independent writers to publish their own long-form articles with a rich text editor or to monetize based on reader engagement metrics, which are core to the 'Medium' concept.
