I've been testing this for the last few days and am curating the technology section. Not paid, just volunteering, and I really like it so far. Great design, easy to jump into articles and frictionless paying is refreshing. Not a fan of the left-to-right scrolling, but otherwise it's likely going to be a boon for news companies who need the money.

My initial impression is similar. The site is well designed and easy to use, full screen and mobile, and the initial selection of reading material is encouraging.

Only major pain point is the side scrolling, newspaper column format in the article view. I strongly prefer the vertical layout the rest of the internet currently uses.

This applies somewhat to the news feed as well. It feels like it's trying to replicate a physical news stand, throwing away the lessons learned from Google Reader and Facebook style feeds.
