Maybe, maybe not.
First, this would cut off ALL NYT newstand revenue. Which I'm sure figures into ad revenue.

Also, the NYT would be placing their eggs in the Kindle basket. That's asking a lot in a lousy economy and digital downloaded content has a shaky history with providers. What if Amazon abandons the Kindle in a year, 2 years?

Frankly, if they do consider this, Amazon should pay the NYT. 800k+ new potential customers to sell eBooks to.
