(2009-05-07) Kindle Amazon Routearound Closed

Dave Thomas found that Amazon has changed the rules on transferring non-Amazon content to the Kindle. Amazon also let you send files to your Kindle via e-mail. In the old days, this used to cost $0.10 per file. So we modified our store. If you have a Kindle, you can register it with us and we'll send your eBooks to it automatically. If we release a new beta, it'll get sent to you, and we'll send you an e-mail to let you know it's there. It was a nice compromise, and at 10 cents a pop, not a bad proposition for our readers. But then, yesterday, Amazon changed the rules. They now charge for transfers on a metered basis. Send a file to your Kindle over the air, and it will cost 15 cents/megabyte.
