> An interesting commentary about the way stuff is being priced/marketed on the iPad.   The other day I looked around 
> at Kindle pricing of some stuff and noticed a similar pattern....it's still cheaper to get the Economist in hardcopy 
> than it is on the Kindle (and presumably iPad).   Based on the comments in this blog entry, the same seems to apply 
> to other magazines/newspapers as well.  ---rick
