I've long thought it would be neat if Amazon were to launch a line of monthly/quarterly digital pulp magazines for the Kindle. A couple of magazines in different genres (straight fiction, horror, sci-fi, romance, etc) with a mix of short stories by established big name authors and lesser known indies.
There's scads of Kindle short story collections available. But it would help to have the clout of Amazon to ensure some level of quality. And they have the pockets to license famous names like Astounding or Weird Tales if they thought it was worth it.
