Print Is Toast - Ballmer

Who is going to pay for news? You might have noted that the AmazonKindle reader is presently testing providing a subscription or single copy sales for newspapers and magazines; as a result, the subscriber pays a cost and the publishers are beginning to publish for Kindle rendering. I think that will time, experience, and Kindle device customer feedback; as a result, the magazine and newspaper publishers will improve their delivery of client presentation content, and if it is done well subscribers will pay. But, here-again Microsoft is out-of-the news and magazine delivery services loop right now.

Print Is Toast - Ballmer

Steve Ballmer should be more concerned than the newspaper publishers; it follows, will Microsoft still be around in ten years because if all newspaper are not printed on paper; as a result, the electronic delivery of newspapers will be delivered to client presentation handheld devices that do not need Microsoft products technologies for these document deliveries. So goes the paper publishing industry, so goes Microsoft computer products, and here comes new client handheld rendering devices that can present news and magazines in a client presentation user-friendly document navigation format.
