  <link rel="alternate" href="http://www.sacramentopress.com/headline/6136" />
  <subtitle>The future of news is not paper. At the same time the future is not necessarily just computers or mobile phones either. These days a new player, in the form of a new medium has entered the fray. That new technology is eInk.

eInk is, much as its name implies, electronic ink. From the eInk website, eInk is described as offering, “...the viewer the experience of reading from paper, while having the power of updatable information.” The key difference between eInk and a computer screen is that it ...</subtitle>

I think a better course of direction (and forgive me if I'm overstepping boundaries here) would be to make the Sacramento Press available on mobile devices.  I think people who subscribe to a data plan on a device like a Blackberry, iPhone or other smartphone would be a better target audience than those who own an eBook reader.  An application on a smartphone that would allow the upload of text, photos and videos would be, in my opinion, more beneficial to the growth of the Sacramento Press contribution-wise and readership-wise than focusing on the Kindle (which, lets face it, is still struggling for an "in") which — as far as I know — would only allow for reading and not contributing to the site.</content>

    <content type="text">We don't know yet because the industry is so young.

I do know that we are working on getting listed as a blog for the Kindle. Then we can all subscribe to a feed of all articles for that device.

We may also work with a device maker on something more elaborate, but there must be a business plan that works for everyone involved.

In general, there is a central challenge to these technologies. They are not made for interactivity. Our site is built not just on stories, but conversations.</content>
