Kindle Unlimited: There's a lot to be considered
Following the launch of Kindle Unlimited,
I had intended to sit down and write a piece on Amazon's latest (let's nail down this monopoly) venture.
After all, KU possibly represents the most important change to the Indie market since the launch of the Kindle. And it is also a potentially massive boon for keen readers, too.
There is a lot for authors, and readers to consider.
But to be honest, I'm as conflicted as every other author I've spoken with. A total monopoly, by anyone, is unlikely ever to be a good thing. But financially it could - possibly - be a good thing for Indie authors.
Especially as the Big Five are currently steering well clear.
Below I've linked to an article by the excellent David Gaughran. As you would expect from the talented Mr Gaughran, it is as thought provoking as it is insightful.
Regardless of whether you are an author, or an avid reader, you should take the time to read this piece:http://davidgaughran.wordpress.com/20...
