Once devices like the Amazon Kindle go from $299.00 down to $29.95 - I’d give that 3 years tops - the hardcopy newspaper/magazine is D-E-A-D.

Vaguely recall that Scripps (???) was doing something with e-readers to replace print.

I was going to get a Kindle because I read so many newspapers, but then they deleted 1984, and when I saw that they could actually go into my digital library and delete stuff that had already been purchased, I changed my mind.
