Amazon, “flat-rate service for Kindle e-book with unlimited number of books” – The Daily

A rate “flat” for our Kindle e-book Amazon , which allows us, upon payment of For a monthly fee, access to an unlimited number of books from a “digital library” of more than 600 thousand texts. Is this the new strategy of the American giant, first revealed last night Information Site GigaOm and immediately taken up by the BBC, British television, which has a dedicated service to the news coming. Amazon has refused to comment, the rest of the news would be leaked by the almost right by mistake. But now industry analysts comment: it would be the right move to counter what they are doing other companies in the sector, such as Oyster and Scribd , which are perfecting just such a system. A sort of almost infinite library, a dream that has gone on for Alexandria in then and now, of course, says the BBC, could arrive in less than no time with a service that would also already has a name: “Kindle Unlimited.”

According to the BBC, it would have meant even the monthly fee, $ 9.99, about 7.5 euro . The advantage of Amazon compared to other services would also own the completeness of this digital library, which really goes in every genre and includes the trilogy of Hunger Games and the series of Harry Potter . The clues to this news were immediately deleted from the site of Amazon, already circulated to the news by now, but it now seems certain that the company will follow the trend of the film on the Internet ( Netflix ) or music to rate “flat” ( Spotify ). Currently, the “reserve” for his service to Amazon “Prime” is equal to 500 thousand titles, so for the new service will be made available additional 100 thousand. However, who is a member of Prime can only borrow an e-book per month. A revolution that will affect not only the Kindle, because right now you can read what bought from Amazon on other tablets and smartphones. Now, casts doubt on the BBC, how will the remuneration of publishers and writers? And then, again, we will really all this time to read all these books?
