Do you have a Kindle? Do you know anyone who does? I've seen people on airplanes with them but haven't personally talked to anyone who has one to know whether they like them or not. The reason I ask is that a a reader placed a comment on an old post and made reference to the new device while bemoaning the contraction of this newspaper's print circulation area.
We just returned from the Washington North Beach area (Pacific Beach, Washington); however this visit I was sorry to find I could no-longer purchase a TNT news-stand newspaper in the town of Pacific Beach (the two news-stands have been removed since our last visit just a couple of months ago), but I did have my AmazonKindle with me; as a result, and the Kindle data network I could purchase single copies of the The Seattle Times newspaper in Kindle format and with the Kindle I was able look at some TNT articles on-line (but not in a good client presentation format for free at Pacific Beach State Park)
So, my suggestion to your TNT with the removal of newsstand papers available; it follows, the TNT should buy a AmazonKindle, see how the other publishers of newspapers do it, what fee they charge for the Kindle delivery, how the Kindle content is set up for client view, and resume so TNT delivery areas that have been abandon for the cost of printed paper delivery.
We're taking the suggestion and acting on it. We've ordered a Kindle and will begin to experiment with how to deliver news and information on this new platform, not fully knowing whether this device is more iPhone or Newton.
