Hmm... I don't exactly trust what I read in the papers righ now. So how could this trust be improved with constantly changing pages/paragraphs/sentences/words?

There is a massive amount of saving from not having to print and distribute on paper. In any case, just who has time to read newspapers all day long? Particularly when you consider all the other electronic gadgets that people 'have' to buy and use - MP3 players, PCs, mobile phones, PSPs etc etc etc. Lets be realistic about this, undoubtedly it is useful to have up to date news but do you really need it that time critical? Is this really practical? Maybe if you are retired or unemployed and have nothing else or nothing better to do with your time.

The economics of online distribution are characterised by zero marginal cost and ultra-low cost distribution. If publishers aren't prepared to share the benefits with their readers then I don't feel like betting on the future of electronic publishing. On a related matter have you noticed that CDs are quite often cheaper than iTunes these days? Absolutely crazy from an economist's point of view, considering the cost of materials and distribution of CDs.
