Odd that a bunch of newspaper and magazine journalists and bloggers (yours truly included) wrote one thing or another about Amazon.com’s Kindle, but no one figured this out.
Well, no one until Alley Insider’s Peter Kafka:
Amazon’s Kindle offers readers a chance to pay to read online newspapers? We haven’t spent time talking about it, because it’s so clearly a non-starter.
But for the record: If you want to read the New York Times on your Kindle, you can pay $14 a month for a subscription — or you can read it for free, using the Kindle’s built-in web browser and all-you-can-eat wireless access. (Other papers like the Wall Street Journal, le Monde, etc, are also available at different but equally preposterous price points.)
That’s precious. Read the rest of the Kafka-esque post here.
