Review: Very narrow focus

I subscribed to the Kindle Nation Daily for over a week, taking advantage of the two week free trial.  I'm not going to continue my subscription to the blog.Kindle Nation Daily focuses almost completely on the Kindle, and not on eReaders in general.  It announces free books for the Kindle, and provides a good set of hints for using your Kindle well.  So, why won't I renew my subscription?First, the author of the blog has also created a good user guide for the Kindle.  If you want good hints for using the Kindle, why not just buy his book?  Most of his hints I already knew; I suspect the rest are already in his book.Second, I already have over 300 books to read on the Kindle (most of which were free), and won't have them all read in the near future.  Most of the free books listed for the Kindle are not books I would normally read; none were during the week or so that I read the Kindle Nation Daily.  I get my free Science Fiction from Project Gutenberg and the Baen Free Library (as well as the Baen CDs that I burn).  It'll be a long time before I catch up on my library of available books.I'm also more interested in the interactions between the Kindle and the rest of the industry, both narrowly defined as the eReader industry, and more broadly defined as the publishing industry.  There are other blogs out there with a broader focus.  I'm sure I'll end up subscribing to one of them.  But this blog's focus is just too narrow for me.Another blog you may wish to look at isI Love My Kindle.  It also covers the Kindle, but also goes beyond looking just at the Kindle to look at ePublishing, too.  However, it doesn't give in-depth Kindle hints or freebies that you'll find in Kindle Nation Daily.
