Thank you for the corrections. I’ve updated the post.

Like you I have mixed feelings when it comes to paying for feeds. Alternatively I could read my feeds on my cell phone or PDA.

It would also be nice if the service was available world wide.

- As someone else mentioned, while it doesn’t read PDF’s natively, you can use multiple free tools to convert PDFs to a format it will read, and if you email the PDF to Amazon they will either email it back for free, or load it directly onto your Kindle for 10 cents.

- Color would be nice, but there’s no color e-ink screen out yet as far as I know. Last I heard it’s still under development with the first prototypes out.

- I agree – it’d be nice if there was an option to buy both the physical copy and e-book, or to “upgrade” a physical copy to combo or an e-book to combo.

- I’ve got mixed feelings about paying for blogs. I think paying for random blogs is silly, but for instance, I *do* pay for the NY Times “Latest Stories” feed – it’s formatted nicely on the Kindle and lets me read the headlines and see the photos without being connected, meaning I can read it on the subway, without paying for the full cost of the paper.

- I don’t know what the big deal is about the design, a lot of people complain about it – but it works pretty well, and when it’s inside its case, it looks almost like a moleskine notebook, which I actually find very attractive.

I’ve updated the post accordingly. I still think it’s a shame that you have to pay $2 per feed. I know it’s a service offered through Amazon, but for the price of $399 I would expect some level of free service.

That’s a great site you have with a lot of useful Kindle information.
