you remember to ? Amazon’s proposed concept is to offer you a digital album bought on Amazon version for free. At the time of this posting, I had as many observers wondered what would prevent Amazon from extend this idea to the digital book . The answer comes down with Kindle Matchbook.
digital version of your paper book for less than $ 3
Kindle Matchbook offers the same basic principle qu’AutoRip, but this time in the field of books and paid versions. For a rate between 0.99 and $ 2.99 in general, and sometimes free, it will be possible to get the digital version of a book for the Kindle.
The system offers the possibility of obtaining the digital version of a book purchased from Amazon after 1995, when a contract was signed with authors and publishers concerned, which today represents 10,000 books, and certainly soon if success is waiting for you.

A solution
banned in France
In France, such a project is currently impossible, because it is incompatible with the law of the single price of digital books. If you want to read the book in digital format bought paper, it will pay a heavy price, regardless of whether or not you have purchased the paper version.
publishers who enjoyed such protection could start this time to pass on additional revenue. We do complain to kick the consumer, who asked nothing, and suddenly “protected” from such tempting offer. Only a relaxation of the law would benefit from this type of offer. Such a change is of course inevitable in the long term, for publishers to adapt to new business models that will be the norm tomorrow, but also to stop this nonsense of forcing someone who has already paid for paper version to pay back the digital version at full price.
Towards bundles at Amazon
Returning to U.S. users they can from October get the digital version of many books purchased on Amazon. For this, Amazon password partnerships with maximum authors, and seems convincing with a business model that provides new revenue they would not otherwise, since few users are willing to pay twice for the same work.
Amazon does not stop there and make available all books “Kindle Publishing” in digital format, while offering self-published authors on its platform KDP the possibility of doing the same thing .
It is therefore far from a paper pack + digital that would be available with the release of new titles. Amazon has also launched a paper offer for + digital magazines, test yet with the publisher Conde Nast (which offers, among other magazines Vogue, Glamour, Vanity Fair or WIRED) and called “All Access” which shows that thinking about this kind of question.
