But I don't see why this couldn't complement a publication's website and perhaps provide them with some extra income.
Off the top of my head - A lot of magazine sites don't include the pretty pictures and this appears to let them to publish in the original layout.
Right now it's just the big boys, but if they open it up to smaller publications, it could be a boon for them.
I know that I sometimes see something on Hulu that's on a network, I don't get, so I'll sample it. The same could be true with this service, though it may sound a little like Pathfinder, but a one-stop electronic newsstand could introduce someone to a tiny publication from a regional source.
And though it may not be part of the current thinking, but if they make some of the additional advertising location-aware, they'll have another source of income, they can't access right now. Not to mention that adding location info to their formally static ads could give their sales a needed boost.
(For example, A Starbucks ad could include a map to the nearest location or a Holiday Inn Express advertisement could list those on the road ahead.)
