Amazon launches “Kindle Unlimited”, it Spotify for ebooks (only in America though) – iPaddisti

Our iPad is a perfect device for reading eBooks . Designed by Apple for this, as its main function, the presentation of the first iPad is now dating back to 2010, we have not only a virtual shop to buy, but different. We find iBookStore Apple Google Play Books Google and Amazon of course with its well-stocked store.

You own quest ‘last company that has launched, for now only in America and as an experiment, “Unlimited Edition”, already dubbed by the press “The Spotify of books.” In practice, with $ 10 a month (the first month is free), users will have 600000 cobs can read without any kind of limitation. And what books I have not yet figured out if everything is included the Amazon catalog or not, but texts such the saga of Harry Potter or the Lord of the Rings are included in the service.

Unlimited Edition will arrive in Italy? Of course we can not know it, because things will very much depend on the outcome of the experiment in America.

For us this would be an opportunity greedy, as the average the cost of books in our country is about 5 Euros, and if one reads quickly and for a long time is certainly a convenient thing. If we count the fact that in this way we can also see the lyrics a bit ‘ most technical of which we are not interested the whole book but only 1-2 chapters, we can do without buying a book not to read it all.

Of course there are obstacles to the arrival of service to our country . The first is the SIAE and the various publishing houses, which are likely to see their revenues decrease dramatically (and for sure will not stand to look at); the second is that the arrival depends on how things are going in America. There, in fact, the average price of books is much less compared to our country, and considering that it takes to read a bit ‘of time (obviously) do not know how this service may agree to an average American .

Of course, we hope well: we reported the news, you cross your fingers (with us) for 10 € per month, which is not much we can say goodbye to the many economic limitations that currently do not allow us to read eBooks in the wild.
