Jeff Bezos Plan for News: The Washington Post Becomes an Amazon Product - Businessweek

Prime news?

"For the past few months, a group inside the Post has been working on a new application that will offer a curated selection of news and photographs from the daily newspaper in a magazine-style, tablet-friendly format. The application will come preinstalled on Amazon’s newly updated Kindle Fire tablet, expected to be launched later this fall with the larger 8.9-inch screen, according to people with knowledge of the Post’s plans.

The app will be free for owners of the larger Kindle, at least at first. It will eventually be available for download on other Kindles as well as to owners of Apple’s iPad and various Android devices, and it will carry a monthly subscription fee. A Post spokesperson declined to comment."
