actually, don't write the iLiad off just yet.. in Holland a pilot program (serious) has recently started where our 2 best (if not the most-read, that's our counterpart to the Telegraph, obviously, also called de Telegraaf) newspapers offering a (more or less) €150-300 subsidy (depending on whether or not you want to factor in the subscription's cost) on the iLiad, making it cost €500, (so €350 with a 1 year mandatory subscription included) for existing customers.. with a decent advertising slogan to boot.
so before you declare it dead, pray it'll catch on

edit: new customers pay €100 less for the epaper 'edition' than when they would buy the 2 separately.
