Up until now, the Kindle has only had a few blogs amongst other content for sale.  Now, Amazon has a new beta program called “Kindle Publishing for Blogs Beta” that lets anyone publish their blog in the Kindle Store. 

We’ve got a photo gallery to show you a walk through of setting up your own blog for publication on the Kindle.  You’ve got to sign up for a new account (your Amazon account will not work here).  Input your name, password, answer some security questions, and set up a way to receive payment.  You can’t use PayPal, but you can use your checking account.  Grab one of your checks and type away those routing and account numbers. 

Once you’ve gotten that far, you can go ahead and publish your blog.  Put in your RSS feed information, your blog title, a tagline, description, author, screenshot, masthead, website address, language, keywords for search, and set categories.

As you can see, that’s a lot of information to give to Amazon, but it makes it easier to get your blog on there and findable. 

This seems like a great idea since the Kindle can use as much content as possible.  Maybe people won’t belly ache so much when they find out blogs cost money on the Kindle when they find out they can make money this way, too.
