> I wish there was a way to hook my newsletters subscriptions up with Kindle.

There used to be services a bit like this. Instapaper used to be able to send a digest of saved web articles to your Kindle, like your own magazine. eg [1]. It sometimes did badly due to web page formatting, but with newsletters you'd have more control layout.

I think you can still deliver the .mobi files to a @free.kindle.com address and the reader won't be charged for WiFi-only delivery. They have to whitelist your email address in their online Kindle account, which might be a usability issue. It's a while since I looked at .mobi, but I don't think it's much different from a single HTML file.

It's not a service I would use, because I love email, and I worry about market size... but it's an interesting idea.
