Coinciding with the Chronicle's 228th birthday, the move means readers will be able to download content from the internet to have in a portable electronic format.
Launched on a experimental basis free of charge, readers can load it to the Rocket e-book directly. Alternatively readers can see what the e-paper looks like using software that impersonates the e-book and view the paper online.
The Chronicle website lists sites where the Rocket e-book is available and states that it hopes to adapt the service to the Microsoft reader software soon.
