Amazon is Shutting Down Kindle Matchbook, Its Print+eBook Bundling Program - The Digital Reader

It never was that popular.

Today Panzer decided to make a stop at The Digital Reader site. There with a little digging in the posts, our adventuresome kitty found one about Amazon's Kindle Matchbook program.

According to the post by The Digital Reader owner Nate Hoffelder, Amazon has sent emails to participating authors notifying them the program is being discontinued. October 31 is the official shut down date. The Kindle Matchbook program allows authors to "bundle" their print and ebooks. If a reader buys the print book then the author offers the ebook either for free or $1.99 or $.99. Amazon's email to authors is included in the post. Also included in the post are links to other The Digital Reader posts, a Facebook post and Twitter Tweets about Kindle Matchbook and related programs and services.

Panzer says, "Matchbook never worked for this little kitty's book."

Note: This is a medium length post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading selection. If you plan to follow the links, also bring half a gallon of tea and half a dozen muffins.
