If Vine promised a summer full of news for its users, it must now constantly recruit others to face the juggernaut of Facebook . This is why the service has landed on a new mobile platform: it is neither Windows Phone , or BlackBerry 10 , but the Kindle Fire Amazon ! Rather, it is seen well, for the United States this family of tablets is the most popular … after the iPad, of course.

While tablets dispenser has a heart of Android , but applications need to be optimized for fork Amazon to work best . This is also the first foray into the sector Vine tablets: the service is not offered on the iPad or on Android slates. However, this version is simply to expand its interface without special adaptation for the big screen. The application is free.

Kindle Store Worlds: The first books are available - CNETFrance

Worlds Kindle, Amazon’s new concept introduced there just a few days now its catalog. Amazon appears indeed first 50 titles, and took the opportunity to invite authors who wish to embark on the adventure.

Worlds Kindle is Amazon’s new invention, which succeeds in reconciling the authors of fan fiction with the rights holders, while providing the a catalog of ebooks interested readers, and monetize it.

The fan-fictions are works that revolve around heroes series or known films and written by fans. They are a bit like the “extended universe” that can be found for series such as Star Wars, and can enrich the idea. The problem is that unlike the extended universe, offered under license, these stories are often produced by fans, without the permission of rights holders, and therefore tolerated but not distributed outside fan forums.

Kindle Worlds, to put everyone agrees

The idea is quite simple: the platform actually offers authors to submit their works to be studied to see if they meet certain rules, then published if this is the case.

These rules are: no pornography, no violent or offensive content or illegal of course, making a misuse of marks (hidden advertising), or moving from one universe to another (several series for example). Amazon adds another criterion, more subjective: the refusal of books with insufficient user experience, which means the overall sloppy form (cover, title, layout, etc …) and imagine the background . Those are the terms and conditions. Then there logically lines set by the rights-holders for each universe.

Authors will be paid for sales, and assigns, Amazon arrogating to pass pricing: between 0.99 and $ 3.99 maximum. The authors earning 35% of the net selling price if the document is at least 10,000 words.

The platform is launched

class=”c14″

Amazon announced by press release 50 titles are already available on the page dedicated to Kindle Worlds (not in France now as you guessed) . Amazon already has licenses for hit series like Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars and Vampire Diaries, and the first titles are also available here.

Prices are down effect and it will all be very interesting to follow.

A new publishing model

We knew Amazon Publishing was known KDP, the self-publishing platform, the model where Amazon Kindle Singles carefully selects a few gems among all submissions. We now have a new system between self-publishing platform and Kindle Singles. Each book will be checked, but if it meets the rules, it will be published.

Whatever one may think of Amazon, and the danger it can pose to the book industry as it exists today, it is necessary recognize the giant ebook inventiveness when it comes to creating new models. But for that, we also noticed that Amazon becomes more and more publisher.

Kindle - Canoe

the side of manufacturing quality, comfort reading or autonomy, the Kindle has nothing to envy to Kobo and Sony. Navigation through the keys is more convenient than the Kobo.

The Paperwhite version has a backlit display. More importantly, the Kindle has the price argument. With its 6-inch screen, it displays the same price as the Kobo Mini.

Unfortunately Kindle suffers from restrictions imposed by Amazon to promote his shop. This is why the Kindle will interest those who shop for their books on Amazon. In fact, the Kindle does not offer SD card storage, but is especially handicapped by the lack of formats supported.

Unable to read ePub and even less CBZ and CBR, so you have to convert your files in the proper format, what we will see on the next page.

Kindle, $ 79
Kindle Paperwhite, $ 129
Paperwhite Kindle 3G, $ 199

Kindle: the unlimited subscription for children going strong - CNETFrance

Amazon continues to expand its catalog of content for children Kindle FreeTime Unlimited and ad for the opportunity to very good results for the first six months of its service life …

For a few days now Amazon has announced via press release the results of six months of Kindle FreeTime Unlimited.

class=”c9″ This program is part of Kindle FreeTime, the parental controls set up on Kindle, and in addition to providing protection in terms of access allows to control the time of use of different types of content, for each child.

class=”c9″ It is possible to create a different profile for each child in the family.

class=”c9″ Kindle FreeTime Unlimited is different, although part of this service has another function: to provide access to a maximum of contents for children, carefully selected and available at will through a formula of subscription that provides access to a huge catalog. For this, it must be equipped with against a tablet brand.

class=”c10″

class=”c9″

The service is intended to be reminded 3-8 years and provides access to $ 2.99 per child per month or $ 6.99 for the whole family without limited number of children. This price is lower than the proposed launch (4.99 and 9.99 U.S. dollars). Amazon can also try the service for free for a month. Subscription is rather quickly profitable, but the price is not the only argument. The selection is made upstream reassuring for parents. For example, all the selected applications in the catalog are disabled “in-app” purchase, ensuring that children are not going to make unexpected purchases.

class=”c9″ The press release also announces the addition of more than a thousand ebooks, games, educational applications, and videos, from among other Disney or Warner Bros even Electronic Arts (EA). It also states, without giving a precise figure that most of those who have tried their service for a month free to continue using it after.

class=”c9″ So, before the success, Amazon prepares Does the same type of content offered France? And this model is it a precursor to a more general model for ebooks, in addition to the Kindle lending library, interesting but limited to one free ebook per month in a relatively limited list? This seems a bit early, but it is certainly a matter of time …

Amazon's Kindle opens developers - 01net

The KDK (Kindle Development Kit) will be available next month in beta and will create what Amazon calls interactive content (active content ), in other words, applications for Kindle. The kit includes sample code, documentation, and a Kindle emulator for Mac, Windows and Linux PCs. The revenue will be shared between the developer (70%) and Amazon (30%), excluding shipping costs (U.S. $ 0.15 per megabyte). Kindle applications may be traded on Kindle Store at the end of the year and should not exceed 100 MB, it will be possible to develop three types of interactive content: free content not exceeding 1 MB, the purchasable content to unit (these two types of content that can not use more than 100K per month per user), and finally an affordable monthly subscription content

.

Some publishers have already had the scoop of the SDK. Handmark and working on an interactive guide Zagat, referencing restaurants in some cities of the world. Sonic Boom and EA Mobile, meanwhile, are developing games and puzzles.

On his blog, Fred Cavazza lists the possible uses for this type of machine. It states that “ Touchbooks and e-books are not to be considered as products actually public, but rather offers niche. This does not in any way that these niches will not be profitable, quite the contrary. “

Apple’s tablet in sight

This announcement comes just days before the still hypothetical, tablet from Apple, the Kindle supposed to compete directly in the field of electronic books. We know that the two companies are in tight with the publishers negotiations, observers assume that the Apple tablet would be much more than e-book. With the opening of developers Kindle, Amazon is trying to provide a platform attractive applications, coupled with a marketplace.

War e-book promises to be fierce. Amazon has an edge: in 2009, the e-tailer has sold more books in electronic format that paper size in United States, and is well established. But as the hypothetical Apple tablet will not be disclosed, it is impossible to make predictions. Especially since Google has also announced its intention to sell e-books.
