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.
