No great loss on newspapers or blogs. But with magazines, color would be nice. Since the iPhone counts as a device, those who wish should be able to get a subscription -- but the problem appears to be archived "books" being the only supported item on the Ki -- since periodicals don't get archived, you can't retrieve them to read on the Ki.

Of course, for those outside the US, where breaking DRM is legal, they could download them to the PC (requires purchase of a Kindle - grab a cheap one on ebay that is out of warranty and broken; all you need is a serial #), break the DRM and then move the books into the correct directory on the iPhone (which may require jailbreaking the device - I know you can extract using google, but not sure about placing files onto the iPhone that way).
