For a smallish 55-106 page plain book you’ll pay about $2.50 each for a couple of copies. If you upgrade to their pro account (not pro-merchant as in bookseller account) then you pay less.

Add your blog to the Amazon Kindle!
Can you imagine having your very own Amazon Kindle blog? This is a very nice way to get exposure for your blog, promote whatever you’re selling and/or make affiliate income. If you use some careful strategizing, I don’t see why you couldn’t make additional affiliate income through the Amazon Kindle subscription to your blog. With no cost to submit your blog to the Kindle store, it’s a superb marketing opportunity for those of you who know how to make money with your blogs primarily through affiliate income.
From Amazon’s website: Kindle Blogs are delivered wirelessly and updated throughout the day. Blogs on Kindle contain full text and images, unlike an RSS feed. The subscription fee for most blogs is $1.99. As a blog owner, you receive a 30% commission of the subscription fee.
My note: Amazon is fooling around with the pricing and should update the terms. I read that the initial $2 will be dropped to $.99 in a week or so on most blogs. At the moment, the blog publisher is not in control of their own pricing.
