The Kindle is not just for books. Via the Amazon store, you can subscribe to
newspapers (the Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Le Monde)
and magazines (The Atlantic). When issues go to press, the virtual publications
are automatically beamed into your Kindle. (It's much closer to a virtual
newsboy tossing the publication on your doorstep than accessing the contents a
piece at a time on the Web.) You can also subscribe to selected blogs, which
cost either 99 cents or $1.99 a month per blog.
