I am not knocking the kindle gweep so no need to defend it, all i am saying is that maybe this will trickle down to the kindle in future versions of the kindles firmware smile This would allow you and other kindle owners to read DRM'ed pdf's in the future as well in the future if this happens which would be nice smile

I found that Kindle has a NY Times headline service for $1.99 a month. Updated every 4 hours. Each headline with full story and photo
It's seperate from the Times daily subscription

Too bad you don't use windows as mobipocket allows you to subscribe to them and other feeds via rss and I think it works with kindle but not sure. I know it works with my cybook smile

Free as well smile
