Yeah, I thought of doing this but I am assumed the image quality (jpeg?) wouldn't be high enough for text to be legible. Also, I wanted the reader to be able to scroll through that 'newspaper' content just like on the site now.
You could use PNG, which doesn't suffer compression artifacts.
But, in widget, I don't believe it's possible to have the scrolling you would get in a web. Widgets have a fixed-size canvas. From memory, around 960 x 600 maximum size (it might be a few pixels more or less in either axis).
Hmmm... I seem to remember that, if you have a widget with a URL to a local file, that file is opened in a Safari window inside the widget. This might just give you what you want, if you can put up with having to put link into the widget, effectively saying "click here" or "read more…"
You'll have to experiment to see how well this works.
