I get it -- times are hard. People are losing jobs and don't have the paper to spend on your paper, so I understand wanting to branch out, see what other revenue streams might be available.
Maybe you're afraid that you're going the route of The Shop Around the Corner in "You've Got Mail."

Maybe you're concerned that Amazon's cheaper prices, access to used books and Kindle are hastening you toward an inevitable, vestigial, Blockbuster-like existence.
Or maybe you see the writing on the wall -- books are out, fruit is in!
