This summer the family-size Kindle DX will offers subscriptions to the New York Times, Washington Post and Boston Globe, and the minority opinion states that "unlike the Web sites of most newspapers, the Kindle preserves a key newspaper-reading experience: Serendipity" (so says Owen Youngman).But many readers aren't sold on that. "Do they really think anyone wants to spend $489 to lug around a clunky 10.4- by 7.2-inch tablet to read a static (that is to say non-interactive) version of the paper?" questions Reflections of a Newsosaur. "$14 a month for an electronic version of the New York Times is certainly not a great first choice," says Bob's Blitz.
Adds Peter Kafka at MediaMemo: "It doesn't matter how you deliver the information if you can't afford to generate it in the first place."
Hey, maybe Google can help out with that part?
