One of the reasons Link bait titles kind of suck at times. The author of this just like many of its readers KNOWS that Bezos didn't buy the Post to keep it running as it is.
The reality is he's an innovator and there probably are very few people who know exactly what he plans on doing with it(he may even be included in that group)
But one thing I can say with absolute certainty is that he intends to change the way news is consumed.
In the world as it stands it only makes sense that digital newspapers are delivering stories straight to our devices as they happen.
With the Whispernet network Kindle has Bezos has an amazing opportunity to allow papers to distribute devices for consumption that consumers can keep in their homes and have updated as the news happens.
This is the way for them to become relevant again and I'd place a bet saying its part of his thinking for the new way forward too.
No more newspaper delivery boys, but the writers who have for the last decade struggled to remain relevant can come back into their own again with the relevance of articles fresh off the wire and they already have the added advantage of being perceived as a more reliable source than most bloggers.
I hope this becomes what it can. because it CAN be great
