I recall that Alan Rusbridger, editor of the Guardian, has been playing with a Sony Reader reader device for a while.
It seems to have set a train of thought in motion for him where – while the current form of the reader is not it – he can imagine a time when a device is created that kills off printed newspapers as a format.
The iPhone? A couple of versions down the road?
Oliver Luft at journalism.co.uk has Rusbridger’s session at the Lords committee on media ownership covered – worth a look.
