It's going to be A LOT sooner than a year or two.
Apple's tablet device is coming out early next year.
Apple already have done deals with publishers with terms WAY more favourable than Amazon. Most publishers HATE the deal with Amazon. It sucks for anyone other than Amazon.
So Apple come along. Launch a sub 300 buck device, that everyone wants. They make is cheap and easy to buy newspapers, mags and books.
Look at the music download market before the iPod came out.
The world is about the change again. If you publish print and are not ready for this NOW, you're dead. IMHO.
