Another interesting article, the amount spent on digital music and eBooks bought from mobile phones is now close to the monthly spend on equivalent physical goods - CDs and paperbacks, in the US.

I also read another article about a major french newspaper in Montreal planning to go completely digital within a few years, and thinking about giving away free ereaders with a subscription. Kind of makes sense, like when you get a free cellphone with a two or three year phone subscription.

This is no surprise, it won't be long until newspapers are completely dead with only online versions available.

That's all I read these days.

I still like to read the Globe & Mail Business section on Saturday, the only newspaper I buy during the week. Costs over $3 now though!
