Profitable Long Form Journalism | Monday Note

Profitable Long Form Journalism | Monday Note

Frédéric Filloux, noticing that he is mostly using his iPad for reading long-ish text, ponders the future (2 years from now) of paper and digital publishing.
Compared to my computer, I realize I’m using the device in a different way. No mail (too clumsy), no writing, no twittering. Just reading stuff, the longer the better.

And I wonder: Can tablet computing be the missing link, the one that could rehabilitate (or rather introduce) long form reading in digital format — in a profitable way?
Worth a read as it has some interesting number crunching concerning the cost breakdown of paper and electronic publishing and predicts some interesting things for newspaper and magazine publishing.
