It seems to me that amazon is ignoring the fact that people will use their Kindles with content NOT from the Kindle store. They should see this as an opportunity to provide this service. I have been saying since day 1 with my Kindle that I would be willing to pay to be able to add my own content to my media library.

I think either tie it to my S3 account... or go with some Flickr like annual membership price which I think is $25 a year.

That said, how much "CPU" time are we really talking about here? Probably less than it takes for me to log into my Kindle account and browse the store and not buy any thing. Am I ripping Amazon off when I browse in their store and then don't end up buying the item?
