ColoradoPols.com--Kindle Edition?

  • 12 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

Unbeknownst to us, apparently you can buy a “subscription” to Colorado Pols for your Amazon Kindle:

Product Description

Colorado’s most-read political blog, featuring news, opinion and inside information from both sides of the political aisle.

Kindle blogs are fully downloaded onto your Kindle so you can read them even when you’re not wirelessly connected. And unlike RSS readers which often only provide headlines, blogs on Kindle give you full text content and images, and are updated wirelessly throughout the day.

We knew nothing about this, but we’re #15 in the Kindle Blogs U.S. News, Politics & Opinion category–below such luminaries as AmericaBlog but interestingly more popular than Washington Post’s The Trail.

And no, nobody’s explained to us how we might potentially make some money off of this “subscription,” but we’re open to suggestions.

      1. If only you could get part of that $0.99/month/subscription you could afford the lawyer to make sure you get part of that $0.99/month/subscription!

        Did you notice that a Maine site is ranked (at all) higher?  Yeah, so I wouldn’t worry much. 🙂

  1. The claims of any copyright holder (broadcast TV stations are among the worst offenders) who foist access to 100% of the content of a work upon the public without charge, and then seek to demand money for using that material has always been a bit dodgy, although the letter of the law permits copyright holders to do just that.

    But, it certainly looks like a pretty clear copyright violation by Amazon to me.  While momentary downloading of a non-subscription web page for contemporaneous viewing while connected to the Internet is clearly fair use, this Kindle application goes far beyond that and is intentionally using the distinction between normal fair use of a non-subscription webpage on the Internet and what their product does to sell the machines.

    In contrast, a feature of the new Kindle which is far less suspect — it has an electronic voice read text from electronic books aloud, and which is already widely available with fuller feature computers, has spawned a copyright suit from book publishers, who claim that Amazon is selling an audiobook while paying a royalty only for an eBook.
