Following the US debut in July, Amazon have release a netflix for books with the Kindle Unlimited. Basically, you pay £7.99 a month and you get unlimited books for your Kindle. And it starts with a 30 day free trial. The article also makes you question what's going to happen to the authors.
I think this could be disastrous for the authors as "Amazon is undermining the ability of authors to support their families, pay their mortgages, and provide for their kids’ college educations,” It could also affect bookshops, which are already in decline due to the giants such as Waterstone and WHSmith.
- 650,000 e-books
- More than 2,000 e-books
- Authors will be paid each time someone reads more than 10% of their books
