From TechMan of the Pittsburgh Post - Gazette: a witty list of requirements for electronic newspaper to capture the market completely:

1. It is cheap enough that you can leave it on the bus for someone else to read. And cheap enough that you don't worry about losing it.
2. You can hold if over your head in a rainstorm and then dry it out and read it again.
3. You can roll it up and swat the dog gently. Or swat a fly not so gently.
4. Your wife can pull out the sports section and give it to you.
5. You can crinkle it up and pack your glassware for moving. Or use it to train your puppy.
6. You can start a fire in your fireplace with it.
7. You can write on it.
8. You can cut out the recipes and put them in the pages of Joy of Cooking.
9. You can roll Silly Putty on it and pick up the comics.
10. You can fold it in quarters to do the crossword puzzle.
11. You can make a hat out of it.
12. You can cut out a Dilbert comic strip and hang it in your cubicle.
