It is sold at full retail, there is no discount on books (they set all prices ) you cannot give away, sell, or trade your old books as you can with real books, they sue people who try and put their own content on it, using the DMCA, which is absurd and ann abuse of the meaning of the law, and now this nonsense with THEM setting a blog's price. Amazon is VERY draconian with this way overpriced little gadget, and I for one will not own it until they loosen their stranglehold on the use, delivery ( open it up to other publications), and stop acting like the RIAA and MPAA and trying to sue customers who want to put content they own on a device they own. IMO this is just bad busness. I would encourage you to pull your blog as well and not fuel this monster any more.

Kind of the direct opposite of the Apple app store approach. Very interesting. It seems to me that adding lots of free blogs and such would be a great way for them to make the Kindle a piece of killer hardware. Much as I love this blog, if I had a Kindle there's no way I would pay to add it to my device. Too many other ways to read for free...
