Amazon opens Kindle publishing to all bloggers
You don't have to do anything special to make your blog readable on the Kindle. Just put your RSS feed in over at Kindle Publishing for Blogs, and you should be good to go. As M.G. Siegler points out at TechCrunch, it would be really nice to give your blog away for free, but that doesn't seem feasible for Amazon. Right now, they decide what to charge your readers, and it's generally around $1.99/month.

So does this mean that music blogs like http://puritanb.blogspot.com/ will be able to actually make some money while supplying Kindle users with OTA music for free over Whispernet? That would be one of the sweetest ways to make money semi-illegally ever.

I think this will benefit only the larger blogs. If you run a personal blog with a relatively small number of readers, any of your readers that decide to start reading blogs through their kindle is probably one less reader for you. I mean, who would pay to read _my_ blog, right?

Well I'll try it out and see what happens. Just signed up my personal blog, says it will be listed in 48-72 hours.

Why would iphone users pay to subscribe to a blog? It could be handy for Kindle users. I don't think I'd pay $2 for something that is free to read ANYWHERE else.

Well, I totally agree with all comments above. Why would people pay $2/mo. to read a blog (specially blogs by individuals) when they can read it for FREE via RSS ?
Anyways, here's a "Subscribe via Kindle" button made by me: http://snapshack.net/?v=subkindle.png
And do subscribe to my blog: http://tinyurl.com/jashsblog-kindle
