News Corp, Detroit Free Press May Launch E-Readers

Posted on April 12, 2009 by Mediabids

From the 4-11 Wall Street Journal: 

...competition is increasing in the reader market, which has so far been dominated by Amazon's Kindle and Sony Corp.'s Reader. In recent weeks, both Hearst Corp. and News Corp. have indicated they're working on e-reader hardware.

Plastic Logic Ltd. said that it will come out with an electronic reader that is about the size of an 8.5-by-11-inch sheet of paper early next year. The company will conduct a trial launch of its reading device this summer with the Detroit Free Press and Detroit News, daily papers that earlier this month stopped delivery of their print versions most days of the week.

No doubt, this could be a great way to deliver content for dailies.
