MISSION, KS--(Marketwired - Nov 28, 2013) - (Family Features) The advancements in technology, including devices such as smartphones and tablets, offer users a customized experience based on their own preferences and taste. Today's technology provides us with a world of information and entertainment options to make life easier.

It's no secret that devices such as smartphones and tablets are useful little devices. In fact, a recent study shows that about one-third of all U.S. households now own a tablet, and this number is expected to climb. Some products put these advancements to use by offering personalized experiences for the user. One such product, PressReader, provides people with access to thousands of the world's best-loved newspapers and magazines on their computers, smartphones, tablets and e-readers. But beyond the news, these special innovations can also greatly improve options for other things, such as enhanced entertainment options.

Entertainment on your time

New features on devices make pulling up a favorite album or checking out the latest comedy movie a breeze. For those looking to expand their musical knowledge or just enjoy their favorite artists, the Spotify app allows users free access to millions of songs. Plus, this app allows you to build your own collection of playlists so you have tunes to fit any occasion. If you're looking to catch up on a hit television series or new movie, the Netflix app allows users to pick from thousands of titles with the touch of a button.

The app also provides recommendations based on previously watched videos, a voice search option and the ability to share videos using your favorite social media platforms. The best part about all of these apps is the ability to use them at any time you desire, all from your device.
