In Celebration of World Book Day, AmazonCrossing Aims to Connect One Million Readers with Kindle Books in Translation - Press Release

Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere when he heard clapping and cheering. Following all the hullabaloo took our brave kitty boy pilot to the Amazon press room. With no digging at all he discovered a post about AmazonCrossing.

According to the press release, Amazon's book translation arm AmazonCrossing is celebrating World Book Day. Beginning April 17 and ending April 24, Amazon is making nine translated ebooks available free to U.S. residents. There is one ebook each from Korea, Greece, Sweden, Japan, Turkey, Russia, Indonesia, Spain and Chile. The genres include literary fiction, historical, mystery, memoir, and psychological thriller. The press release includes a link to a site where all nine ebooks are available to download. After the information about the World Book Day ebooks, there's the usual information about Amazon.

I didn't know they could do that.

Panzer says, "The download site includes a pages read counter. This little kitty finds it a little scary Amazon can track how many pages you're reading in your book."

Note: This is a short-medium length post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin.
