This blog now available on the Amazon Kindle!
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009
I’ve been very interested in Amazon’s Kindle device since it first launched a couple of years ago. It’s not only an E-Book reader but has a built in modem that allows it to go online to the Amazon store and selected websites. I noticed that there were many free blogs available for subscription for the device and thought I would apply to get this blog available for the Kindle too. To my surprise it has been accepted and Amazon have listed it at a $1.99 price tag (content providers have no control over pricing).
Amazon pass on 30% of the selling price to the content creator which might not sound like a great deal, it typically costs me nothing to create my content so anything is profit. But in the end I’m not really in this for the money, however I’m quite interested to see if any Kindle users do check me out.
So whilst I’m terribly excited that Kindle Owners can subscribe to me direct from their Kindle and have my blog with them 24 hours a day, I do wonder if I need to add more stuff to make it worth while – especially if they have to pay.
I’d be interested in hearing from anyone with Kindle experience both on the hardware side as well as producing content for it.
