Although I’m a bit of a gadget junkie, I still haven’t forked over $359 for an Amazon Kindle.

The thought does intrigue me – the book backlog that’s haunting my nightstand seems to be continuously growing out of control, and the idea of dumping all of this paper and consolidating to a single device with all my reading material does, on some level, seem appealing.

However, I’ve decided to keep true to the ‘End of 2007 Purge‘, which has quelled any desire to pick up another ’speciality’ device – especially when I have a perfectly good laptop and iPhone that can read PDF’s just fine. (Side note: Would love to know of a company that I can send old books to that will convert it to a PDF, send me back the digital document and keep the book).

Anyways – Amazon recently announced that Kindle Publishing was now open to all blogs. I wasn’t really expecting anyone to subscribe, but I thought I would just play around and publish The Furrygoat Experience up on the Kindle store to see what the process was like, etc.

It was all pretty straightforward, worked off of my RSS feed, and enabled me to quickly build the book.

Wait a second - It worked off my RSS feed.

I started to think (and looks like it’s true) that I could put any RSS feed in there.

So as an experiment, I decided to publish my Twitter feed (heck, it’s updated way more often than the blog). For the low monthly price of $1.99 (which includes wireless delivery via Amazon Whispernet) you can subscribe to my Twitter ramblings and read them on your Kindle.

I mean, who wouldn’t want such gems as:

• good morning tuesday!
• wondering the origins of the pimento loaf.
• is awake.
• has decided that I really can’t stand this desk.
• etc

Technology is awesome, huh?

And by the way, you can also read this blog post (for an additional $1.99) by subscribing to the Furrygoat Experience on your Kindle.
