Germans win e-paper race

Katja Riefler observers on Poynter's E-Media Tidbits that electronic edition distribution is not just being monopolised by Olive and NewsStand. Several German newspapers, eg, Rhein Zeitung, developed their own technologies in 2001. "More than 1,000 of [Rhein Zeitung's] 8,700 original subscribers have converted to a paid subcription in the first month, although you can only buy the e-paper as an add-on to the printed edition as yet. The price varies from 2 Euro to 5 Euro a month."
