The New York Times, International Herald Tribune, Les Echos (parent of The Financial Tmies), and French papers Le Monde, La Parisienne, and L'Equipe are all going to experiment with electronic reading. Reader devices to be used in these trials include the Sony Reader and the higher resolution iRex. Should this take off, you will see many commuters downloading the day's paper and reading them on the way to work without any worry of the pages flying away due to a sudden gust of wind. Unfortunately, these reader devices have not yet reached critical mass in order to be sold at an affordable price.
