Amazon ready to launch Kindle Unlimited, the Spotify of books – The Press (Blog)

Published by mistake on the site page that explains the new service: a subscription to $ 9.99 a month will give you access to over 600 000 ebooks

After entering in the world of music and television, Amazon prepares to another change. The Colossus of Seattle would in fact launching a service online ebook at $ 9.99 per month. This is revealed by some American media that refer to certain pages published by mistake on the website of the group.

The company of Jeff Bezos would be so trying to create a sort of Spotify for books, providing its members with access to over 600 thousand titles but only in streaming, ie without downloading them. This is not a revolutionary idea because services such as Oyster and Scribdt give users an offer very similar, but the move could open a new step forward for the activities of Bezos.

The group has not yet officially confirmed the decision. What is expected, however, is that Amazon is able to offer books for major publishers that now they refused to adhere to similar services offered by other startups.
