BlogKindle.com now available on Kindle Store
BlogKindle.com is now available as subscription and can be wirelessly delivered directly to your Kindle along with 4,400+ other blogs currently in the blog section of Kindle Store. Since Amazon recently simplified the process of self-publishing blogs on Kindle Store the amount of blogs skyrocketed from 1,400 to 4,400 in just a few days.
Amazon itself decides what the subscription price is going to be. Publishers have no control over it other than pulling their blog from the store completely. Currently BlogKindle.com is valued at $1.99/month.
I don’t believe that in my case 30% commission will make me a fortune. I mostly did it to get extra exposure for the blog. Kindle Marketplace seems to be a very logical place to have Kindle related blog. Of course the blog will still be available as it is now so you can read it in any browser or RSS reader of your choice.
Enjoy and stay tuned!
I would like for you to comment on Kindle book prices.
This is from an e-mail I sent to Amazon, to which I got a stock non answer.
“I have been hearing that you no longer have the policy of $9.99 for best sellers and new releases. I ignored it thinking it was just noise and I thought for sure my popular, junky novel authors would release the Kindle edition at $9.99.
Imagine my surprise when Lee Child’s “Gone Tomorrow” became available today and the Kindle and the hardback edition are BOTH $14.85. This is nuts and I do not get it. I think you are advertising the Kindle falsely. The *” New
York Times® Best Sellers and New Releases are $9.99, unless marked otherwise”* tag line is totally misleading when you are charging the same price for junk, best selling novels as the hardback edition.”
Also, I am trying to subscribe to your blog from my Kindle, but searches on “blogkindle” “kindle blog” “blogkindlecom” return either nothing or hundreds of results. Any suggestions on how to find blogkindlecom at the Kindle store??
Love your blog,
Thanks so much,
BB
