Perhaps the BN Nook will provide the market penetration necessary to drive newspapers to an e-delivery model. Well said, Robert.

I worked for a major newspaper in south florida for many years. They tried so hard to get their hands into so many other media fields like tv and radio. They even made a half hearted attempt at providing news over the internet. The problem is, no one wants to pick up the newsprint edition anymore. The only reason to do that is for the coupons on Sundays. Newspapers have invested billions in equipment to make these newsprint things. They need to let the paper go... let it itself slide into the background and find a way to provide the news in new, more cost effective ways... Like the i-phone and the kindle.
