This doesn't solve the fundamental problem with today's (US) newspapers: liberal bias and crappy reporting. There's virtually nothing worth reading in print media any longer.
Hey James, maybe you need to check out the Pew 2004 and 2007 studies of the media where journalists' _categorized_themselves_ as 5 and 4 times as liberal as the general population (oh, and proportionately smaller in conservative views as well, but I digress...). Or, for example, did you miss Chris Matthews getting a "tingle up [his] leg" when Obama speaks? Hello, McFly, are you there?
Haikibutsu: Sorry but Faux News, like McCain and Bush: Republican does not a Conservative make. (Hint: If you think any of those are conservative, you might want to brush up on your ideologies).

With electronic distribution, there's no such thing as lock-in any more.
Unless they make each electronic newspaper proprietary to one company. It would be cost and time prohibitive to switch to the new startup, just like today.

This being a programmable electronic device, you could conceptually download anything you like onto it. It needn't be an existing print paper at all.
And here we have a Faux News viewing republican conservative.
