You know I love my Kindle!!! I love to read books on it. And books only!
I do confess to reading magazines on it but it really is not as much fun as reading books on the Kindle. One of the reasons is that the Magazine format is still clumsy and does not feel as if you are really reading a magazine.
And then forget newspapers. I won't even try and I'm not about to buy a Kindle DX. I'm not even interested in seeing a demo. I'm of the generation that wants to read her newspaper articles on the Web. If I want to catch up on the daily news in print form I'll quickly check the front page at work on the Web. It'll give me an idea of what's going on around the world and then I'm fairly happy. I can do this with newspapers from other countries as well. All in one setting.
Now five top publisher are looking to create digital newspapers to rival Amazon's Kindle DX as a joint venture. I found the following article on ABC. Will it work? Will this be profitable for the Newspapers? Will the cost of newspapers go up since it's being read on a digital device?
