Why do they need to do that? There are already several ways to do that:
1- Copy your files directly to the Kindle via USB (.txt or .prc)
2- Convert them yourself using MobiPocket Creator and transfer them via USB.
3- Email them to Amazon for free conversion, then transfer them via USB (can't get more cross-platform than that!)

1. What if my source material is not txt or prc
2. What if I don't use windows
3. What if I want to customize/extend, build on top of the conversion process. What if I don't want to send my perhaps private documents to Amazon. What if I don't want to have to connect to the internet just to convert my content. There is no reason Amazon could not have released their conversion tools.

They only charge you for the convenience of wireless delivery. The conversion service is free if you are willing to transfer via USB (just like any other reader).

Even for blogs and newspapers?
