Amazon Kindle eBook Reader is money donated by the authors and publishers?
Jeff Bezos, has changed the way people select and buy books when he started Amazon. For many authors, Amazon has been a lifesaver, a new breath in the books that had long since ceased to be stocked by most bookstores. Amazon reviews intelligent reader, recommendations and people who bought this also bought "feature fired dusty books and forgotten in the depths of Store and pasted into the front window again.
Now Amazon Bezos and his team taking their revolution one step further. On 16 November 2007 finally released their most anticipated album eBooks, the Kindle.
This new device is designed to make reading a book as easy and enjoyable a laptop screen as it is on paper. great advantage of the device can store more than 200 pounds can be easily updated with new books and light and portable. Most books, including the new best-sellers, at a cost of $ 9.99. Among the classics can be downloaded for as little as just $ 1.99. The subscriptions to newspapers, magazines and blogs can cost 99 cents each, or up to $ 14 per month.
Kindle Is Success?
Content the digital transition, which can be safe. Books, newspapers, radio, television, magazines, courses and videos are migrating to the web. Many content producers are fighting the move, because making money on the internet is much more problematic than in "real world" but the user behavior is forcing the pace. Each bit of research on the habits of users shows a clear reduction in the use of the traditional media and increasing Internet use. In a survey of the "digital born" generation (which is 12 to 18 years), 87% said they consider the Web as their primary source of information. These are the customers of tomorrow.
Does that mean that if the content is converted to digital, then a product like Kindle, which makes this mobile content will probably be a success?
My feeling is that portable devices will eventually read become the norm, but certainly not overnight, for several reasons. First, there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the paper book. People like books. They are used by them. The books do not crash. They can be shared. I think the "baby boomers" will be a lot of convincing to switch to electronic books. The benefits are insignificant to the casual reader.
The second is cost. The Kindle was launched at $ 399, plus $ 9.99 for each book. It's a lot of books pocket of little benefit. In addition, Amazon has decided to pay a large amount of information that is available on the Web such as newspapers and blogs. Have provided the free and fair information to the defendants for books that might have appealed to the web generation. However, the early adopters of blogs and newspapers downloaded on their smartphones and follow with paper books.
"Just as content creator, do I ignore Kindle?
No! Although not believe that there is something to be done immediately, so it must proactively control how's Kindle and similar products do. The portable reading devices will mature and be an important means of content distribution. In
– Business books – I think that readers of electronic books could be taken by companies for the distribution of business books, reports, journals and blogs.
– Schools and universities – I think there is a tremendous opportunity for schools and colleges to use these devices to provide a greater variety of books and information for their students. It is common for teachers students to read a chapter of a book text, but can be useful in the physical world. EBook Readers might be response.
– Books without editors – More and more books are being written and published without publishers. Many are available in digital form to minimize the costs to authors. If this trend continues, I think it will then readers could become important features ebook.
– Books on value added – a trend that could happen is to reach books to be reinforced by the comments of others. For example, Tony Blair could add notes to the autobiography of Bill Clinton, giving his views on events. In a world of digital content, annotation and distribution of the upgrade would be easy to do.
– Free books – There are thousands of books author. If these books have become free for people with e-book readers, you could create a demand.
– Pressure Green – Create books newspapers and magazines is a very energy-wasting, exhausting process of green hostile. We cut the trees, transported to the mill, puree the pulp, place the dough other plants in the press sheets, the ship leaves on the cover in ink, then use heavy machinery to cut and join, and eventually the world's ships. reader e-book makes the whole process goes. This could be a major factor e-book readers that success.
Conclusion
e-book readers to take off in the future as technology improves, prices fall and "born digital" generation becomes of a mass market. In the meantime, there will be pockets of opportunities for online content publishers. You will need to keep an eye on developments and be creative to generate revenue from this opportunity.
