Did you know you can get your blog on Kindle and listed at Amazon.

Why not add your own and what do you think about blogs on Kindle? A good thing - will people pay?

um..er...I don't know. If I could go on for free at a computer, I don't think I would pay to see them on a kindle.

We'll see. I'd added both my blogs last week. As for whether anyone would wish to read them there... time will tell.

As my humor posts tend to be more story-oriented, the Kindle might be a good audience fit for it.

It will be interesting to hear down the road what sorts of results bloggers will (or won't) get.

  I guess it's to early to tell - worth adding in though, if only to get on amazon!

How 'bout a FREE 90-day trial? That would definitely motivate me.

  I believe they currently have a free 14-day trial. Not as wowwy as 90, but...

Oh, PS-- because this might come up and because I only found out the answer to this myself today--

Apparently once you get in there and it has the Reports tab? The reports are run by Amazon once a month. I don't know what date. But we'll have to wait a little for those reports to go active.

Just wanted to let folks know.

  Let us know if you get any takers Thrift Shop Romantic, I hadn't seen that they send a report.

  The reports you get will be in the same place where you maintain your Kindle URLs with them.
  
  I think this is the right URL:
  
  kindlepublishing.amazon.com/
  
  Then you just login, and it's a tab on your account page. Only, like I said, the reports take a month before they post them

Is there a way to offer it for free on Kindle?

  No there doesn't seem to be a way of doing that, the price is set by Amazon.

  Customers pay $1.99 for a month although I'm not sure how much of that you get.
