I'm not sure that this means a whole lot but thought Mobileread visitors might find it interesting. Amazon has an Affiliate program where they pay a referral fee to websites that convince others to go to Amazon's website and buy something. As of March Amazon excluded Kindle books from that program.

I personally just designed a website specifically for the Kindle. In my case, I'd developed my site for fun and not for profit, so Amazon's actions don't affect me much. But, sites like mine that are developed for profit, simply won't be created because of Amazon's new policy, and that's a shame.

My site is affected slightly. I had planned on using the Affiliate program to generate money to provide giveaways -- like Mobileread did by giving away a Kindle. Well, those plans are out the window now. Once again it's a shame.
