Besides the cost of the infrastructure and the launch of the offer would remain only add small fees paid to authors whose books are borrowed. Tim Worstall, Forbes contributor in , the question of whether it would be profitable to close the physical library and return the community of readers to the new offer readings against subscription.

However, only a small segment of the population is composed of avid readers or book buyers. The remuneration to authors, regardless of the rate, then not possibly represent a significant cost to Amazon.

According class=”p1″> Worstall, which would have led institutions like the state to get involved in the care management services lending physical books would be linked to this paper and supply limits derived therefrom. With digital books, the environment was found changed, and the observer suggests that migration to a service such as Unlimited Kindle would likely result in savings of public funds. The crisis could be resolved libraries closing them all?

The new service called Kindle Unlimited and provides access to a catalog of more than 600,000 digital books and audios.

Subscription does not have the book, just like what is done for the music or video. The issue of copyright is still pending with such a model.

It is now official, after Prime Instant Video and Music, here Kindle Unlimited . Currently only available in the United States, the service offers unlimited access to over 600,000 e-books and more than 2,000 audio books. Attention, however, a significant restriction is applied.

While on equivalent services music and video, it is possible to see and hear without limits, Unlimited Kindle, he says it is possible to “ keep up to ten pounds at a time ‘maximum no due date but as you are subscriber. A free 30-day trial is available to potential future clients of the American and the offer is intended both to holders of Kindle products and those under iOS, Android and other systems that have installed the application Kindle.

Youboox expected Amazon foot farm

For now, the service is therefore not available in Europe, although according to our colleagues ActuaLitté, discussions are already underway with French publishers to launch in September or October. However Hexagon already has a competitor called Youboox. Developed over nearly two years, French site offers a free offer ad-supported, with a limited number of e-books and reading only online. It mainly offers a paid 9.99 euros per month with the titles available offline, a larger catalog without advertising.

According to a report recently conducted by BFM Business, Youboox offers 50,000 different titles and has approximately 200,000 users. Nearly 3 million pages and read every month. However, the service combines the moment that 2500 subscribers. Even small numbers, proving that the digital reading market has yet to take off. The arrival of Kindle Unlimited, however, could give visibility to such offers and allow Youboox to enjoy. However

The business model of this French site is quite innovative. To convince publishers, pretty reluctant at first (they are now to be partners 120) Youboox negotiated a compensation not based on books read, but based on … read pages. Publishers are well paid according to each page viewed by customers as a proportion of gains through advertising and subscriptions. Youboox expects to attract 2017 more than one million users, nearly 100,000 subscribers, for a potential turnover of € 10 million.

Note that Kindle works Unlimited differently. It pays the authors only if at least 10% of the book was read according to TechCrunch, at least for independent authors. Negotiations with the publishers have not been disclosed, we do not know the financial details of their agreement. The largest U.S. publishers are missing anyway the call, which implies a catalog devoid of major books.
