"So, publishers are just beginning to ask themselves, what if news consumers like these tablets so much and so quickly (maybe even taking them to bed, forsaking the soon-to-be-jilted smartphone) that print readers flee from musty, old newsprint even more quickly than they have over the last difficult decade? What if newspaper readers, clearly pivotal early adopters of the iPad, decide they really don.t need the paper anymore . that they.ve got the paper, in almost-paper-like form right in front of them, more environmentally friendly and updating throughout the day?"
