I wonder how this will play out will the publishers. As I understood it, they had a revenue sharing agreement with a large number of content producers: news.me charged money to their users, the publishers got a cut of it, and the users of news.me got to see the content in a clean 'readability' style view. Now that its free, I can't see how this will work out with their existing publisher agreements ...

This is very exciting news. I used it during the free trial period, but couldn't bring myself to pay for it when I could just go back to Flipboard (which, btw, I don't like as much).

When I first downloaded it there was a free trial but by the time I got around to checking it out it had already expired. Nice to have a second chance.
