Possibly, but the problem persists that what we want in publishing is both the image, the information and the metainformation so that a single encoding can be sold to a wide spectrum of hardware and software platforms.

Why buying on Apple store is that easy ? Because we don't expect to have our email address sold to anyone, Please use the incoming kiosk from iOS5 and make survey to collect data from willing customers. In real kiosks, a customer buys anonymously a newspaper, keep it that simple with ePresse. Collecting valuable customer data is the source of the problem, not a solution.

After all, there is no shortage of places for buying online editions: Zinio, deployed globally; Relay.com and LeKiosque.frin France. And, of course, Apple, which will roll-out its own Newsstand before year-end. The answer is of a strategic nature: we’re dealing with concerns over control and technology." These last 2 -control and technology- don't sound very consumer centric, and remind us of music industry trying to control music files in their own domain, away from users. Thats what made Apple/Amazon success, accessibility and usability/experience. As you rightly point out, why creating another Kiosk? Shouldn't publishers try to do a better job on their websites, and find a payment solution that works across them, like an ewallet?

And as of Grant hereabove, still a lot to implement. My point is more on the addressable market out-there. This ePresse project still looks like a "push" from the "Paper" press to dive and swim along in the Virtual world... while trying to monetize (somewhat) the old way: get some of that reader's money, profile and targeted ads sales. The issue is that this Virtual world is populated by other "News" moguls. And I'm not talking of these free News aggregators that you have already covered in other Monday Notes. I mean these big sharks coming from other Media that swim along in the same Virtual pond. Guys with plenty of Multimedia News to offer on line for "Free" (no subscription required) : Radio and TV Networks. From the end-user perspective, these Free channels will make most of the consumption. 95% generic News for free with rich media by nature (and Ads on the side). And get only paid subscription for some Niche Media streams that no free channel can provide. So the ePresse model could apply to some very sharp content for a limited audience ... more than generic magazines and news papers like. Forget about le Figaro, Libé, L'Express or le Nouvel Obs. TF1, RTL and Europe1 will displace them and air News for free. May be the ePresse model could apply for some Rock & Folk, Cahiers du Cinema, Monde Diplo, Cheval Mag or Pianiste Mag.

It doesn't appear to reflect any of the ideology outlined in the blog. Instead, it's essentially PDF + plain text view for a range of papers -- the same thing that other platforms have been offering for a year or so (e.g. Press Reader). Given the iOS app store restrictions, wouldn't it still have been possible to offer the low-cost trial + behavioural tracking outlined in your proposal (e.g. buying ANY issue would unlock ALL for one week, and the analytics, albeit without card data, are still within your control)? It seems the block here is the attitudes your publishers who don't want an all you can eat trial offer. If they were on board with the new world order then you could offer almost any model you want, no? The result, then, seems to be a 'me too' app that doesn't really change anything. And, crucially, doesn't appear to get the world any closer to the goals you outlined. I hope this hasn't come across as completely negative. I'm 100% on board with your vision, but the execution doesn't seem to bear any relation to it. If you have any experiences you're able to share - e.g. on why the vision and execution are at odds - then I think that would make a great follow-up post.
