I read many reviews, and this is never clear. Amazon charges you to subscribe New York Times, Washington post, blogs on Kindle. But if the web browsing is free, who will pay?
Yes it's free for now, but it is rumored that Amazon starts to charge it when "experimental period" ends. Notice that web browser is in the "experimental" section of Kindle.

Unfortunately they are not free - you will need to buy a subscription to the particular magazine or newspaper that you are interested in.
However most newspapers range in the $10 per month mark (depending on the paper you want), and magazines are around $1.25 per month range (again depending on the magazine).
Obviously the benefit is that you can view them anywhere/anytime and that you don't have the paper version to clutter up your house.
I personally love the fact that I get it straight away now and they are very easy to read and find just the info you want on the Kindle.

Software Will Be the E-Reader's Kingmaker PC Magazine
.But the screen is only one part of what it will take
to make a successful market here. I'm convinced that, as in most cases
these days, it's the software that will drive the hardware and
determine the eventual winners and losers in this market.
That's where the Sony Reader and Amazon Kindle have had such a big lead
over all their competitiors to date. The E-ink technology had been out
for a while, but it took Sony to make the device commercial, and Amazon to wirelessly link the device with its online store; and that
combination helped make this a real market.The Kindle had the initial
advantage of a much bigger store, but almost every e-reader you see has
access to an online store of some sort.
Clearly, the store is still important. Amazon is pushing its own, as
are Barnes and Noble (with the Nook) and Sony.Nearly all the
Android-based devices have access to Google Books (typically for older,
public domain titles titles), but several have content partnerships
with Barnes
