Bezos buys a newspaper

Jeff Bezos of Kindle/Amazon fame purchased a major newspaper the other day, though he believes print will be dead for all common folk come 2033. He thinks news being free online has destroyed the incentive to pay for print. Wonder if Hugh Hefner will be able to sell Playboy to Jeff Bezos, since print magazines are dying as well.
Heck, 50 Shades did well as an E-book because filthy minded housewives were able to read it openly on their tablets without anyone seeing its cover!
On a different but related matter, we just got Nook HD Plus. Sadly B&N won't make them anymore, so who is to make apps for them in future?
