The delivery system is changing and maybe Hearst is joining others to develop some new electronic reading technology. So what? There is still no business model to pay for content. Xconomy doesn't make money yet, but is floating on the hope of future profit. Meanwhile, newspapers, which have produced 90 percent of original content (as opposed to reactionary blogging and commentary on the news), will continue to close. Hearst is closing papers while investing in a gizmo. Great. Delivery is beside the point.
