But Can You Do The NYT Crossword On A Kindle?

Not that this would happen [because of the lost ad revenue], but here's a slant on the dying paper newspaper circulation:

It costs the NY Times about twice as much money to print and deliver the newspaper over a year as it would cost to send each of its subscribers a brand new Amazon Kindle instead.

But not everyone is a Kindle fan. You can't do the crossword on them.

Also, the electronic only-idea completely misses the "badge" marketing value of the NY Times being physically seen in airports, hotels, convenience stores, offices, trains, driveways, etc. Pictures don't look so hot on the Kindle, either.

Lastly, how will you ever line the bird cage or house train your dog with a Kindle?
