The Korea Herald is now available in e-book format for a monthly subscription fee of 7,000 won ($6).

The mobile version of The Korea Herald, accessible using a Samsung SNE-60K e-book reader, provides access to all Korea Herald articles in the same layout design as the hard copy version.

In order to access the service, a membership to Textore (www.textore.com) is required.

Once registered, click on the "Textore PC manager" icon on the bottom left of the first page to download and install the required operating system.

Then go to the "Newspaper (sinmun in Korean)" section of the webpage and purchase a subscription to The Korea Herald.

The purchased subscription plan will automatically be sent to your "Web Library," the virtual content storage of the website.

Then access the SNE-60K e-book reader through a Wi-Fi network and click on the "Bookstore" icon, which leads to the Textore webpage on the device, and log on to the website and register the device.

The e-book version of The Korea Herald will then be delivered to the Web Library on the mobile device each day.

The Textore webpage is not yet available in English.
