Dozens of newspaper and magazines subscriptions for Kindle are sold through Amazon, but some publishers have concerns about the arrangement. Amazon controls the relationship with subscribers and dictates pricing. In addition, the current version of the Kindle doesn't display ads, which newspaper and magazine companies rely on for revenue.
That has spurred some publishers to back Kindle alternatives and to pursue mobile reading options for smartphones and other portable gadgets. Hearst Corp. is investing in a start-up that's developing an e-reading device, and News Corp., owner of Wall Street Journal publisher Dow Jones & Co., is mulling a possible investment in a Kindle competitor. Plastic Logic Ltd. said that it will conduct a trial launch of its 8.5-by-11-inch reading device this summer with the Detroit Free Press and Detroit News, daily papers that recently stopped delivery of their print versions most days of the week.

Five other universities are involved in the Kindle project, according to people briefed on the matter. They are Pace, Princeton, Reed, Darden School at the University of Virginia, and Arizona State.
An Amazon spokesman declined comment. On Monday morning, the Seattle company sent out invitations to a press event to be held Wednesday at Pace University in New York City.
The moves are the latest by Amazon to promote the Kindle, which is the company's first consumer-electronics device. The e-commerce company, which has seen sales of media slow in recent years, has invested in digital distribution of music, video and books. Amazon hasn't said how many Kindles it has sold since introducing the device in 2007, but in an earnings report last month it said that Kindle sales had "exceeded our most
