The family now has Kindle 3 ebook readers, based on electronic ink and four tablet models. Of course, these devices will be in the heart of the Amazon program for the Salon du livre de Paris. The other aspect, so it is self-publishing services, “ through our digital services, well-known, but also to Create Space, our tool print on demand ,” says Mary Piere-Sangouard. “ After all, the show has a dedicated space for self-publishing, which is part of the digital sector. It was logical that Amazon can integrate. “
the menu “ workshops presentations tools, workshops, but also meetings with self-published authors or publishers who have chosen to go through our Kindle Direct Publishing “. For example, the author Agnes Martin-Lugand, now best known for its publishing venture: she had sold the digital version of his book, happy people read and drink coffee , and sold more than 8000 copies before the publisher Michel Lafon decides to sell paper.
“ We are not proactive in this area. We do not specifically work with publishers to report commercial success, sold through our digital platform. In the case of the Book of Agnes Martin-Lugand, however we collaborated with Michel Lafon for the promotion of the book, since it served the interests of each . “
During the workshops, the curious can attend sessions on the implementation of autopubliés works, development of coverage, security selection, but also the choice of the selling price . “ In Spain, independent authors found that after having conducted a promotional campaign by reducing the selling price of the book, it was possible at the end of the campaign, to display a selling price that is higher than originally proposed. It’s the same thing in France: there are no rules per se, but the authors find solutions that force experiment “
.
It is true, Marie-Pierre Sangouard recognizes that the digital catalog of traditional editions “ has a large room for improvement .” In contrast, “ self-publishing can be a new and different catalog. In Kindle Direct Publishing, there are freelance writers, traditional authors who experience digital marketing, because they benefit from direct feedback from readers. “And in this series of experiments, it is primarily the search for optimal business solutions.
course, behind the enhancement of self-publishing services, there is the lending library of digital books, Kindle Library, opened in France in October 2012. “ This is a very different service, which is for our premium customers, for which demand, against remuneration, exclusive of books to authors. Of course, enrich our catalog of works auotoédités enhances the value of our premium service. “
But to date, few traditional publishing houses have agreed to sell their works to take part in the digital library lending Kindle, and it is therefore feeds independent authors. Today, without providing more accurate data, Amazon boasts 500,000 libers available for Kindle Library, and tens of thousands of books in French language.
