Yeah...what is nice is that app devs gets pretty accurate/instant feedback on their sales prices/sales by having such a controlled environment-the smart ones will move quickly to raise/drop prices based on sales trends, competition, etc.
We will see a lot of experimentation with periodicals I'm sure in the near future-looking forward to seeing what comes of it all; and whether anyone can make an app more of a value proposition than what we've come to expect for "free" on the internet.
I do think that what we do see on the Internet now is the bare baseline for free-watching these companies plotting to put current content behind paywalls just seems so futile...people won't pay for what they've been getting already for free for years.
