Amazon links Washington Post to 'Prime' subscription
Amazon Prime members
Washington - AFP
US online giant Amazon announced Wednesday that members of its Prime subscription program would be eligible for discounted digital access to The Washington Post newspaper.
The news marked another effort by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to leverage its large customer base with the Washington Post, which he purchased with $250 million from his personal fortune in 2013.
Amazon Prime members -- who pay an annual fee for free shipping, online video and music and other perks -- will get six months of free unlimited access to the Post national digital edition, which normally costs $9.99 per month, the online giant said.
After the first six months, customers can continue at a discounted rate of $3.99 per month.
"Offering free access to new subscribers through Prime allows us to connect with millions of members nationwide who may not have tried The Post in the past," said Steve Hills, president and general manager of the US daily.
Last year, Amazon announced a similar deal for users of its Kindle tablets, which have the Washington Post application pre-installed on the devices.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
