Kindle, Kindle Fires On Sale This Week - The Digital Reader

Hurry! Hurry!

As soon as Panzer entered the Catosphere today, the Panzermobile was immediately shaken by clapping and cheering outside. Following all the hoopla took our brave kitty pilot to The Digital Reader site. With no digging at all he found a post about a sale of Amazon Kindles.

According to The Digital Reader site owner Nate Hoffelder, Amazon has some of the Kindles and Kindle Fires on sale; however, you must be an Amazon Prime member to get the sale price."

Panzer says, "You need to hurry! The sale ends September 22!"

Note: This is a short post. Bring a cup of tea for today's reading selection. If you plan to follow all the links, bring a cup  of tea and a muffin.

Inside Amazon's First Physical Bookstore - Publishers' Weekly

Panzer was out in the Catosphere today and discovered Amazon is in the news again. Our big bad kitty boy stopped in at the Publishers' Weekly site. There he discovered a post about Amazon's new bricks and mortar store.

You missed your chance with me.

Rob Salkowitz gives us a tour of the Amazon Books store. The store carries 5,000 to 6,000 books as well as Kindles, Kindle Fires and Fire TV devices. The books are 4 and 5 star Amazon. com bestsellers. Other things taken into account for store placement include Goodreads reader opinions and Amazon pre-order launch numbers. Included in the post are photos of the outside and inside of the store.

Panzer says, "Hmmm ... I didn't do pre-orders for CAT WISDOM for humans and it's not up at Goodreads yet. Does that mean I'm wasting my time formatting CAT WISDOM for humans for a Create Space paperback? "

Note: One cup of tea should be enough for today's reading.

Time to rethink Kindle content generation

We stopped in at Guido Henkel's blog to see what's happening in Jason Dark's World today.
 

Henkel is posting about the new Kindle Fire and what it means for ebook layout (yours and mine). And ... according to him, it isn't pretty.

He also addresses Amazon's shortsightedness, as well as their lack of preparedness, for multiple platforms: i.e. the Kindle (the old) and the Kindle Fire (the new).

There's some pretty interesting information here for those of us who do our own layouts for the Kindle(s).

Tootle on over to Time to rethink Kindle content generation, but Panzer says be prepared because this is a long post (rant).
