I sometimes sit in front of my computer and read my newspaper. How
weird is that?:-). I still subscribe to two dailies: the New York
Times and the Detroit News, but like the Free Press, the Detroit News
is going to five days a week, without lowering their subscription
price. When it happens, I'll cancel.

============
I think newspapers and books are two quite different things (you
didn't reply to what I said).
Newspapers are the canary in the coal mine. If people are willing to
abandon newspapers for the crappy monitor technology we have now,
imagine what will happen when there are electronic viewing media
that are close to the legibility of a printed page. That's just a
few years away.
I suspect newspapers will end up mainly online. If the advertising
revenue will support it.
Not all print media is equivalent to all other print media.
In fact, I expect advertising revenue will support books eventually,
when they're in electronic form. I think that stinks, but it's very
likely to happen in order to subsidize the cost of the technology. I
hope it's a short-lived phenomenon.
