I read a lot. My problem is discovery, not price. Do you really think there are enough people out there for whom the price is a barrier?
If you could solve the problem of discovering interesting and high quality content for me I am much more interested than in the difference between a few dollars and free.
I also really don't like small pieces. Your premium content idea would remove value for me, not add it.
This is not to be negative - it is a problem space worth exploring. If you do it right you can certainly solve a problem for me. I am much more looking for say Pandoras recommendation engine rather than the freemium model though. And I think that might be a general thing.
