A great interview with Paul! So happy to see this.
Reading this piece made me recall an <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/2009/1/printing-the-nyt-costs-twice-as-much-as-sending-every-subscriber-a-free-kindle">earlier analysis</a>, which estimates that the New York Times could buy every one of its subscribers a Kindle, switch to an all-digital delivery platform, and effectively <em>halve</em> its printing and delivery budget. And those figures are from 2009 -- when the Kindle retailed for $359. Think about how different the numbers would be today.
But then you'd have approximately 830,000 people locked into one of the least open ecosystems in contemporary digital publishing, and another problem altogether.
