KINDLE MATCHBOOK FREE
When you’ve got the chance to get a cheap or free backup of a paper book you buy from Amazon, why not buy all your paper books from Amazon, right? Assuming you’ve got no attachment to your local bookstore or ethical issues with Amazon, of course.Ok, this is SO cool that I had to make a quick, special post about it!! Check this out…Īmazon has just launched a new program called Kindle Matchbook where you can purchase the Kindle editions of books you already own in paperback at a discounted price ranging anywhere from $0 – $2.99!!! At this point, they have over 70,000 books in the program all available for $3 or less!! And while some will see this as a gesture of goodwill from the gargantuan online retailer, it’ll surely benefit Amazon as well.
This has apparently been “one of the most requested features from customers,” according to Amazon. I can’t think of any I like enough re-purchase in digital form for $10 - a common price for a Kindle e-book - though. I don’t know about you, but I like some of my paper books enough to pay $3 to have the digital versions.
KINDLE MATCHBOOK FULL
Some may see the upside of potentially being able to squeeze another couple bucks out of a customer who bought a paper book some may think that if a customer likes a paper book enough, they’ll pay full price for the digital version. It’ll be interesting to see which additional publishers sign up for the program. In addition, Amazon Publishing will include all its titles in Kindle MatchBook. Kindle MatchBook will launch with books from Ray Bradbury, Michael Crichton, Blake Crouch, James Rollins, Jodi Picoult, Neil Gaiman, Marcus Sakey, Wally Lamb, Jo Nesbo, Neal Stephenson, and J.A. Here are some of the big-name authors, according to Amazon: What’s the catch? Well, aside from having to pay upwards of $3, the current selection of MatchBook-compatible books only hovers at around 10,000 titles.
This includes books you’ve purchased from Amazon “all the way back to 1995-when Amazon first opened its online bookstore,” according to the company’s press release. The premise is simple: Buy a paper book from Amazon, and you can have the Kindle version for $3, $2, $1 or free, depending on the title. Relief may soon be in sight, however, as Amazon is rolling out a service called Kindle MatchBook in October. I need to read the book before October 15, so I find myself in enough of a rhubarb of a pickle of a jam that, for the first time in a long, long time, I bought a paper book.
However, the Kindle version of this particular book is slated for release on October 15, whereas the paper version comes out October 1. Follow night, I pre-ordered a paper book from Amazon.
