As a digital platform that distributes content to every corner of the world, we offer different content to different countries due to location-specific licensing agreements. It’s for the same reason that some of your favorite streaming platforms have to limit which content appears in which countries. For example, someone in London will have different content options than someone in New York — because every region has its own ever-changing distribution rights. This is to ensure our publishers maintain control over the content they work so hard to create.
Our team is always ready to help. Just email us at lite@pressreader.com and our team will get back to you within 48 hours.
PressReader Lite is currently a beta product only available in Turkey, South Africa and parts of Canada.
