5. Bonus: Create an Account

Bonus step - create an account to "heart" a publication and add it to your favorites. If you do this, next time you bring up PressReader, your favorite Spanish-language newspaper will be at the top of the list. This is an optional step that is not necessary, but if you want to do it, just look for the green "Sign-Up" button on the top right of the screen in PressReader.
