Think more iTunes for periodicals. Its going to make subscribing for periodicals very easy and automatic, and all you'll have to do is remember one password.
The publishers hope (and fear) that Newsstand will do for periodicals what iTunes did for music. We'll see.
If that model succeeds, you might see some kind opf subscription model happen for iBooks , although that's more of a stretch. I don't think we fully know yet what Apple's plan for ebooks is yet.
