In Norway - and probably elsewhere - pdf editions of newspapers aren't popular. New figures from Norwegian Media Businesses' Association show that virtually nobody is interested in PDF versions of newspapers.

PDF accounts for 0.07 percent of total newspaper circulation in Norway, according to the trade magazine Kampanje (in Norwegian). Combined, Norwegian newspapers sold 1,850 PDF copies daily last year. Even for a small country, this figure is low to the point of insignificance. Regional newspaper Bergens Tidende has the highest PDF circulation in the country, with a not-so-staggering daily sale of 128 copies. Most Norwegian PDF editions cost approximately $2 USD each. http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=31&aid=118745; February 21, 2007
