According to Fortune, Hearst -- the TU's parent company -- will be launching a "a wireless e-reader with a large-format screen suited to the reading and advertising requirements of newspapers and magazines." It sounds kind of like the Kindle, but bigger. (Earlier: Newspaper guild: layoffs coming to TU)

Anybody out there who listens to the media project on WAMC? Rex Smith, the editor of TU has been talking up this kind of device as the next big thing that will save newspapers. Now Hearst is coming out with one. Interesting. I think if you can order materials other than the newspaper on these bad boys, they could be a hit. There's no way even the biggest technophiles will have both.
