Subscribe to my blog on your Amazon Kindle
Here’s a really cool new feature: you can subscribe to my blog on Amazon — this is my blog’s subscription link. This will automatically load onto your Kindle my blog so that you will always be able to read it, even if you do not have Internet access. Also, the Kindle version has just my articles — it removes a lot of the other ads and sidebars that are on my main web-access version.
Just as an example, here is a Kindle screenshot of one of my articles:
As you can see, the images turn out pretty good, and the text font size is freely sizable, as always on the Kindle.
The low monthly price (which was set by Amazon, by the way) will help me create better reviews and discussion pieces, so thank you in advance for your support!

The port itself was not too bad—I exported my old blog files and imported them rather painlessly into WordPress. And some custom webpages I ported [...]
