As popular as e-books have become, I doubt the newspaper has had a similarly popular switch to a Kindle version. It just isn't as good. <br /><br />Unfortunately, the newspaper first faltered when Craigslist killed their income from classifieds, and now it competes against CNN, MSNBC and Fox News for "viewers" with short attention spans. I hope newspapers figure out a new way to survive, both for the readers and of course the paper route.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16328553063400526854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1257004845714438957.post-55070133074674227592011-02-01T08:14:11.626-08:002011-02-01T08:14:11.626-08:00Although I'm one for technology, delivery of t...Although I'm one for technology, delivery of the newspaper to the Kindle keeps my 13-year-old from getting a paper route and working for his money like I did when I was 12. Thus, raising a generation filled with self indulgent kids who are growing more and more with this sense of entitlement of goods, without wanting to pay for them, that we never had.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16740278717606941373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1257004845714438957.post-75122087999502715842011-01-28T14:24:45.384-08:002011-01-28T14:24:45.384-08:00I will pay full price for your book, whatever the ...I will pay full price for your book, whatever the format!<br /><br />But you can't autograph my iPad.SeanHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16060867976078244800noreply@blogger.com
