I guess you're looking for something more than:

1) buy newspaper
2) open newspaper
3) ensure eyes move from left to right over words (unless you're reading arabic then right to left)
4) wash hands when finished to ensure dirty newsprint desn't mark nice white surfaces.

If you give some more information and you may just get an answer worth reading!

Thank you allis53.
I'm enquiring on behalf of someone who is quadriplegic so cannot independently buy a paper or hold it or turn the pages. She can't put her own PC on either so I was just hoping someone had invented a newspaper holder, like they have a book holder.
Regards, C

I get everything, newspaper wise, via the internet. Most everything is there.

If you are looking for a huge page turner, forget it. You could ask someone to fold and turn the paper and place it on a music stand if you so miss the newspaper oder. Bofre the internet, that's how I did it.
