There is an ePaper that gives you the exact same view of the physical paper and all the stories are on the website anyway.
I can't remember the last time I touched an actual newspaper and I don't understand why anyone would need one.

Here's why I read it. A 6" x 4" screen does not allow you to scan around the page nearly as quickly as a piece of paper.
Online: That's a semi-interesting headline. <clicks headline> <waits 3 seconds to fully load> <screen jumps as ads load slower> <reads first sentence> < this is not what I want to read, hits back button> <10 seconds later back to original screen> <searches for where I left off scanning the page because the website took me back to the top>
Paper: That's a semi-interesting headline. <reads first sentence> <nope> <looks at next headline>
Don't tell me my internet connection is too slow. No matter how you slice it, it's faster to scan from headline to headline just by moving your eyes. When your iPad is 36" tall and 36" wide it will replace the physical paper.
Second, reading the Sunday paper is like smoking a cigar. Sit on the porch with a steaming cup of coffee and the newspaper and enjoy a slow Sunday morning before church.
