Harry, I think the idea is to make it an option, especially for U.S. readers, not to abandon readers anywhere. OTOH, while I agree that using the Kindle is absurd because it is a closed system (and I personally wouldn't want to read anything on a Kindle because I do not want to support Amazon), using a device like the Plastic Logic Reader, especially if it is open to more networks around the world, could work.
Ideally, the
New York Times and
The Economist will offer joint subscriptions that include a device that is like the Plastic Logic supposedly will be at a reasonable monthly rate along the lines of cell phone plans here in the U.S. I can only hope!
