wow.

That is soooo cool. I’d pay a buck to read blogs on a the Kindle. After all, it will mean I can go outside and read it or lounging on the sofa.

Great news indeed.

I feel that Amazon and Kindle will take off and that people will at first reject the idea about paying for blogs, then it will take off, just like all of the technology that has come about over the past years. It seems that it could and would work and the more that people here about it. The more acceptable that it will become. I am all for it!

If only Amazon Kindle is available internationally. I’ve heard so much good things about Kindle and even Oprah reportedly cannot live without it. But this thing is just for the lucky people in the US. So let’s not even talk about having blogs on Kindle

I agree with you Mrs. Right, but also keep in mind that many Kindle readers like the portability of the Kindle as opposed to a computer, but also they may not be as tech-savy.

The Kindle is a very simple device. My parents use it regularly but they can’t figure out how to use a blog reader (they can barely send email). When you combine the portability together with the low-entry, and low-learning-curve-required, it offers a blogger additional exposure.

Personally I think this is a great idea, and another step towards mobile technology.

Whether the Kindle has enough scale, and whether enough people subscribe to blogs to make it worthwhile remains to be seen. But there are an estimated 500,000 Kindle users out there and many industry folk think there’s a lot more growth to come, so it’s surely worth a try.

Hello Mrs. Right,

I think the biggest underlying factor here is the popularity of the Kindle and whether folks will prefer to read blogs using that or to sit at their computer.

Cheers,

I guess this is geared more for the famous bloggers, not beginners or regular intermediate folks like me. I guess I really don’t see this as something that will take off, but I have been wrong with these type of predictions before. Certainly the bloggers wouldn’t be in it for the revenues since they are not much to speak of. If you are popular enough people will follow you on the net (for free) why pay for what you can get for free?
