Flower Pellerin decided to enter the mediator of the book, Laurence Engel, who will render an opinion on the service sold by Amazon “as soon as possible.”
“A shift in values”
Since its launch, Kindle Unlimited managed to do almost unanimously the publishing world against him. The letter of people’s Company (LDMS) denounced “a revolution of values: those of the book of creation, and therefore the author.” In his eyes, unlimited reading devices are not paying enough for the authors. “Now we do not know today the conditions publishers compensation in the service offered by Amazon, much less that of the authors’ highlights the LDMS.
Amazon launched its service in the Kindle Unlimited early December 2014 for 9.99 USD per month. This subscription provides unlimited access to 700,000 books, including 20,000 titles in French.
