It's is possible that Bezos is saying, I transformed the book market...and now I'm going transform the newspaper market.
I would bet that he plans to use the Post as his flagship in a paradigm busting transformation.

I wouldn’t doubt he’ll try. I’m just not convinced he can.
We’ll see.

There's little doubt anymore that the physical newspaper, sold on the corner or delivered to your home, is fading away. That said, the Washington Post is a premier brand name in news (whatever you want to say about their editorial politics) and could easily be turned into the standard bearer for an Amazon news operation that could compete with Google News, and seamlessly integrate with Amazon marketing.
It's a smart play.
