We do, but one doesn't pay in proportion to how much you use it - and some users don't pay at all (e.g. non-UK ones). If the Beeb produced a newspaper-style summary that was convenient to auto-load to the device for free, this could significantly undermine the opportunity for newspapers.
I wonder if there are any statistics on the success (or otherwise) of paid newspapers through the Kindle?
