That article is from a few days after the Kindle came out. There was a lot of incomplete and inaccurate information posted then and much of what was true then has changed in the mean time.
As of today, the Amazon Kindle store offers 146,393 Kindle books for sale. That is up about 20K over last month. In addition there are many other sites out that that offer lots of ebooks, many free. These are often available in formats suitable for both the Kindle and the Sony Reader.
The price is now down to $360. The Kindle can read most blogs using its web browser. Amazon does offer a fee-based service to deliver blog articles directly to your Kindle as new entries are published. The advantage is this kind of push delivery that is faster to access. Probably not the most compelling feature for most people, but some will appreciate the convenience.

One of the problems with Kindle, according to this article: http://www.internetevolution.com/author.asp?section_id=526&doc_id=139702&f_src=flffour are the lack of an extensive library, the cost and the inability to access web content like weblogs.
