An article on the Nieman Foundation's website looks at the success that Montreal's La Presse has had in moving a daily newspaper from paper to an ambitious tablet focused publishing model. As far as I know they represent one of very few successful newspaper transitions from dead tree publishing, and several other papers are planning to adopt their platform.
And, for those keeping score, "heavy users of digital newspaper news skew heavily to Apple products, and, here, La Presse+ is no different. More than 80 percent of the product's "opens" and of the time spent using it, come from the iPad."

No one is going to run a business where the press only runs three hours on a saturday night.
Right now when a daily papers’ circulation drops too low that facility shuts down and their papers absorbed by a larger press. So on and so forth. Once transportation time/cost gets too high, it will then be digital only.
It’s only a matter of time.
