I read my blogs through the web or via my iPhone’s Newsstand application (very cool way to read blogs, by the way) but just because that’s how I do it doesn’t meant that there aren’t other ways. And in the world of web programming, you need to think of how every user might be accessing your content. For those users that are lugging around a Kindle, Amazon recently introduced a way to get your blog into their system of downloadable content.

Is this cool or what?

Now, it will take a teeny bit of tinkering with your blog’s RSS feed and atom page to make this work, but once it is setup, it’s pretty darn cool. I just added myself to Amazon’s wonderous selection of blogs, though I doubt anyone would pay the $1.99 fee that Amazon charges for monthly instant downloads of my posts to their Kindle. If my Mom had a Kindle, then maybe. As blog author, you get 30% of the fees.

Who would pay for blog content that you can get free to come streaming directly into your Kindle? Someone who only has a kindle and does a lot of traveling, for one. Either way, it’s another lovely access point for the small business person to get into cool current technology. Thumbs up!
