Amazon launches self-service subscription marketplace - Talking New Media

Panzer made a quick trip into the Catosphere today. Our speedy kitty boy stopped in at the Talking New Media site. There he found a post about a new service Amazon is offering.

Is there anything Amazon can't do?

According to the post by D.B. Hebbard, Amazon is now offering a new digital subscription service sales platform. Digital subscription providers can sign up for the new Subscribe with Amazon service. Subscription providers will receive 70 percent of the subscription fee for the first year and 85 percent if the subscription is renewed after the first year. The post includes a copy of Amazon's press release and the link to sign up for the service.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... This kitty wonders if Mom could sell subscriptions to this blog?"

Note: This is a medium length post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading selection.

The Sound of Subscriptions Succeeding: Storytel Original Is Coming in Sweden - Publishing Perspctives

Interesting.

Panzer's trip into the Catosphere today took him to the Publishing Perspectives site. There our traveling kitty found a post about Storytel.

According to the post by Marie Bilde, Storytel has acquired Mofibo. Both companies are digital subscriptions services apps for ebooks and audiobooks. With Storytel's acquisition it has been announced that Mofibo will no longer serve The Netherlands market. No other immediate plans for Mofibo have been announced; although, on June 14 Storytel will be launching Storytel Original, an exclusive audio content service.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... Ebooks ... Audiobooks ... Sounds a lot like Amazon's subscription services to me."

Note: This is a l-o-n-g post. You'll need two cups of tea and three muffins for today's reading selection.
