Actually, most newspapers are moving to online content (and charging for it). It's no wonder: They are saving money by printing less. And there is a higher profit margin for online distribution. Not only do subscribers pay for it, but advertisers as well. Slam dunk. This unfortunately is where the paper publication industry is headed. E-books anyone? I first heard this story on the local news radio. I recall them saying that online subscription sites with news content were increasing (even for subscription based sites).

I tried to buy one when they had their 50% off sale but it would not take my order entry. Not sure why.

Thats what I meant (and didnt wish). Of course I prefer a "real" book (btw I adore scifi by :notworthy: Alastair Reynolds) instead of a piece of electronic. But I dont rule the economic system, it's ruling us.
