Free Blogs on Kindle

[koland]

Good news for those who want more control over what they receive in their Amazon Daily Blog on their Kindle: Amazon now lets you pick amongst eight different free blogs to subscribe to, rather than having the combined blog as the only choice. At last, I can get book news and the food blog, without wading thru page after page of kid's toys and fashion models. All of the blogs listed below are free (in the US), so feel free to sign up for as many or as few as you want. If you are headed overseas for a trip, though, be sure to cancel the individual blogs and either get only the Daily or wait to restart them after you return, as you won't want to pay the overseas Whispernet charges on multiple blogs while you are there.

Amazon's Omnivoracious Blog
Omnivoracious is a blog run by the books editors at Amazon.com. We aim to share our passion for the written word through news, reviews, interviews, and more. This is our space to talk books and publishing frankly and we welcome participation through comments.

Amazon's Al Dente Blog
We're an unruly bunch of Amazon.com editors who love to cook, decorate, garden, and most importantly...eat! We're in the know about the hottest products for the kitchen and home, including top-of-the-line kitchen appliances, unique cook's tools, chompable dog toys, must-have grills, mouthwatering gourmet food, and much, much more. Come back and visit us on our blog frequently to get our latest takes on the hippest things for your kitchen and home.

Amazon's Armchair Commentary Blog
Among this motley bunch of editors lie fans of big-budget Bruckheimers, off-the-cuff indies, golden-age classics, military documentaries, and everything in between… and that’s just movies. We’re here to share the latest news and observations about film and television, show you cool things in the DVD and Unbox stores and riff on things we like. Whether it be on a bombastic home theater system or a broken-down laptop, you can trust that we’re watching. Everything. And we’re ready to discuss.

Amazon's Chordstrike Blog
Amazon’s staff of Music Editors share their perspectives and persuasions on all things interesting and relevant in today’s music world. Whether touching on subjects in the media, unearthing musical gems that are under the radar, or featuring live streaming concerts, the Chordstrike blog offers a regular dose of musical commentary for Amazon’s community to read and comment on posts written by music lovers like you.

Amazon's Car Lust Blog
Car Lust is, very simply, where interesting cars meet irrational emotion. It's a deeply personal exploration of the hidden gems of the automotive world; a twisted look into a car nuts' mind; and a quirky look at the broader automotive universe - a broader universe that lies beneath the new, the flashy, and the trendy represented in the car magazines.

Amazon's Toy Whimsy Blog
At Toy Whimsy, we are all just a bunch of big kids. Former teachers, copy writers, parents, and long time toy industry experts, what we all have in common is a love of toys. We’re here to bring you the best of what’s new, toy reviews by parents and kids, and information on playthings of all types. From toddler to teen, we have your play time covered.

Amazon's EndUser Blog
We editors get to spend a lot of time around cool toys, but when it comes to the Amazon.com site, we like to let the customers do the talking. End User is our space to talk about and share with you the stuff that makes us excited about electronics. While our focus is mainly on gadgets--that is, portable electronics you can hold in your hand such as iPods, GPS, cell phones, etc.--we're also branching out to cover new things like home audio, computers and software, and more. Basically anything with a current in it is fair game.

Amazon Daily Blog
Commenting on the catchy and trendy, the trivial and tremendous, the Amazon Daily blog highlights the best from the world's largest online retailer. Whether you're interested in the tops in technological toys, the quirkiest gadgets or preeminent foreign films, Amazon Daily offers a plethora of diverse opinions from the editors of Amazon.com. From the perfect holiday dinner to the craziest car accessories, Amazon Daily covers Amazon.com's huge catalog of items, gizmos, books and food.

Thank you for the info, it is very much appreciated. Oh, and I've added your blog in FB as well.

Thanks, again!

I have not subscribed to any kindle blogs. As a precaution - how does one UNsubscribe if one does not like it.

And reading the Culinary page, I'm not clear - were these NOT free at one time? So is the FREE a limited time offer?

Thanks for all your postings of free and less free items.

I tried the Amazon blog ages ago, didn't care for it and deleted it under the "Manage your Kindle" page on my Amazon account. It stopped immediately.

So far, the very few that have been free have stayed free (for several years) or disappeared (Amazon Daily, Kindle Daily). These are a part of Amazon Daily, which you cannot configure as far as content. I don't want all the celebrity and fashion junk, so these individual ones will work great for me.
