The newspaper industry is dwindling, Detroit is crumbling, but there are some bright spots surfacing. As Detroit newspapers are challenged with a declining industry and harsh economic conditions, they are mixing things up. Recently announced, Detroit News subscribers will be the first in the country to test Amazon.com's rival e-reader, produced by California-based firm Plastic Logic, the Plastic Logic Reader. This partnership with the Detroit News, Detroit Media Partnership and the Detroit Free Press will drastically change the way subscribers receive their paper. Below is a video demo of the Plastic Logic's e-reader. No price has been set for the device, but it is said to rival Amazon.com's Kindle 2 priced at $359.
