It is optimized for reading. In fact highlighting, saving to clippings is very easy. I haven't figured out the way to get the clips onto the computer but I'm pretty sure there is a way. My take is that it is an awesome reading appliance. The problem for a newspaper is that readers are a niche market. A nicely growing niche. But not the mass market that Paper has. As Bezos has described in interviews the Kindle is for reading long form stories - essays to books. I think we should all keep an eye on the epaper device that Hearst will be introducing later this year. From early descriptions it should be much more newspaper business friendly.
