Amazon would start testing a new service that will offer its customers the opportunity the benefit of a unlimited access to a large catalog of ebooks and audiobooks . Kindle Unlimited , this is the name of the new service from Amazon, should cost $ 9.99 per month and allow access from any compatible device to a database of more than 600 thousand titles including digital books and audiobooks.
The discovery of the existence of Kindle Unlimited you have some users who have discovered the relevant page within the portal Amazon. Back then removed but still remains accessible using the Google cache. The existence of a draft Amazon in wanting to offer a subscription for unlimited access to its catalog of ebooks was actually known for some time, so much so that last month leaked the news that Amazon was discussing with American publishers for the launch of this new service that once fully operational will compete against those offered by similar Scribd and Oyster . It must be stressed, however, that Amazon already offers something similar to its subscribers Prime and therefore will be to determine whether the two services can co-exist and if the offer in terms of content will be different.
Trying to take advantage of Google’s cache to navigate to ‘ inside of a few pages of the Kindle service Unlimited still accessible, as it turns into a page called “ KU Test “, would be exactly 628 664 titles available. 6,576 instead audiobooks present. Browsing through the titles are available as ebooks Hunger Games and the number of Harry Potter .
I do not know the details of the official launch of Unlimited Edition , although certainly at the beginning the service will initially be directed only to U.S. users, but what is certain is that Amazon through this initiative will make a major jolt to the market of digital publishing.
