The Westmeath Independent is now available in digital format, so if you're fully engaged with the digital media age, or you know someone who is, this is the perfect way to make sure you don't miss anything from your favourite weekly read.

The new online subscription service is available here at www.westmeathindependent.ie ;- click on the tab 'epaper' at the top of this page and you will be taken to a log-in page where you can register an account in order to subscribe to an online version of the Westmeath Independent.

Once you register at www.westmeathindependent.ie, you have your codes for future use.

Westmeath Independent editor Tadhg Carey said: "Now you don't have to miss your weekly newspaper if you're away from home - wherever you go, as long as you have an internet connection, you will have your paper delivered to you.

"Everything you are used to reading will be there at the touch of a button so you can keep up to date with the news and sport from this area..

"If you are living abroad, it's great for you too, especially if you felt like you were missing out on something back at home."

This new digital option complements the service offered by our network of local newsagents and now means that your number one newspaper is available to everyone anywhere in the world.

There are four subscription options:

• Annual subscription for €99

• 6-month subscription for €50

• 3-month subscription for €26

• Individual subscription for €2

Discounts are available automatically for purchases made on multiple publications at the same time, and there is an option to purchase a subscription as a gift for friends and families who are overseas, for example. 

The digital version is viewable on multiple platforms, such as smartphones and tablet devices and there is a full range of functions to make reading your favourite newspaper the same pleasure it has always been (zoom in, zoom out, search pages, go to page, print PDF and much more).

We look forward to welcoming you online here at www.westmeathindependent.ie.
