Expatriates who need to keep up on current events so they don't look like complete idiots when they visit Germany once a year ... if it wasn't for Mobipocket's RSS feeds for the Iliad, I still wouldn't know what Hartz IV is or what it's doing to the country... or that there's a railroad strike going on ... or know about the increasingly amusing saga of the planned Transrapid in Munich ("monorail, monorail, monorail")

As suggested in another thread: Wouldn't it be relatively easy for Amazon to make newspaper subscription and delivery available for other e-readers? Alternatively, if a newspaper is already creating content for one e-reader, wouldn't it be easy to make that subscription available to other companies? In other words, shouldn't Irex be talking to the FAZ right now?

I know, I keep going on about this ... but CommandeROR is obsessed with battery life, others get worked up about DRM - my pet peeve is that there's still no newspaper for the Iliad...
