the launch of the “format” Kindle Singles, designed for texts between 10,000 and 30,000 words (about 30-90 pages) back in October 2010 : Amazon did not exercise yet its almost full domination of the digital book, and these short texts allow it to offer securities prices (very) low, just to attract a potential reader.
This format was also designed to promote self-publishing with Amazon: Office then put forward the fact that the texts of an average length were quite suited to the debate of ideas.
If the first titles were not particularly noticed, the collection Kindle Singles hosted some great feathers, including Stephen King for an essay on arms sales to the United States, guns and Barack Obama , as an exclusive interview.
the collection could therefore boast, 3 years after its launch, reaching 5 million copies, as stated Jeff Bezos him -even in an interview to New York Times. If the figures are only those of Amazon, the very low price policy, to less than $ 2 for most texts, seemed to have paid off.
the Kindle Singles are not available in France, but Germany can profit since 2013.
with Kindle Singles Classics, Amazon offers more short texts, with 140 songs mostly from the different publications archives including TIME, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, Esquire, The Atlantic or Playboy. Most Kindle Singles Classics are sold for $ 0.99. Among the first authors found Susan Orlean, Norman Mailer, Gloria Steinem, Lawrence Wright, Margo Jefferson, Gay Talese, Chang-rae Lee, and news of John le Carré and Kurt Vonnegut, among others, announced in Amazon a statement.
adherents to the unlimited streaming service for Amazon reading, Kindle Unlimited, will enjoy free access to Kindle Singles Classics course
