I wouldn't begin to guess the answer to your question but the issue just got more complicated by the new B & N competition to the Kindle:

With the advent of more and more Kindles and bandwidth, do you think that
the newspaper/magazine industry might gain back some hold by having their
newspapers/magazines on Kindle?  Right now it's grayscale but likely that
will change over time to full colour.  54 newspapers are already on line
according to Amazon and 14 magazines.

Here are some articles on this, they are a bit older, but I didn't see
anyone comment on them when they first came out.

They always say that when a door closes, a window opens...does anyone have a
Kindle and subscribe to a newspaper or magazine...if so what is your
experience.  Do any of you have articles that are on Kindle as part of a
newspaper or magazine?  If so what has been your experience with that.
