It will happen someday. Kindle (I think that's how it's spelled) and other like it are really picking up. I can even see schools going to this kind of technology in the not too distant future. It's cheaper, easier to store and friendlier to the environment.
I get the appeal of laying out the paper and reading it during breakfast...I used to do it all the time. Now I just move the keyboard out of the way and eat my cereal while reading the Lincoln paper online. Kids of today probably for the most part will never take a newspaper as they are all acquainted with the internet.
