Om – not sure what the Define Media story has to do with Bezos.
What do you think about the mobile play? I wrote this: http://www.ottawacitizen.com/opinion/op-ed/Jeff+Bezos+newspaper+future/8750604/story.html for our local paper about the mobile opportunity print + mobile means for commerce. Thoughts on how Bezos will bridge the distance between the printed paper and our bank account?
Thanks as always!
