What the publishers really need to be working on (if they aren't already) is a way to distribute online for a fair fee that's difficult to pirate. ITunes is making money hand over fist charging a buck per song. Periodicals need to come up with something similar.
Heck, the district superintendent called me just yesterday asking me to find a way to put the district newsletter online because they're cutting the snail mail version out of the budget to save money. Simply doing that will save us thousands of dollars a year, and we're a Podunk little town. I can't imagine how cost effective it would be to a national publisher.
Of course, we're back to waiting for the ideal digital reader being developed...
The readers are getting much better, my sister has the Sony Reader, and my father is getting the Kindle. I recently ran across a article that mentioned how well Manga fares on these readers, because of the crisp black and whites, and minimal size change.

Yeah, I'd love it if Wizards could put together regular packages of things of interest to a particular class. I play a rogue, and until recently, wasn't doing anything else with D&D 4e. I didn't want to get Martial Power *just* for the rogue info... but would like to get my hands on it just the same....
