During some recent email exchanges with an author friend, we were discussing some of her essays and short stories that were selling better on Kindle at $2.99 than they were at just .99 cents. This got me to wondering if unlike bargains in a physical dollar store, pricing in the online Ebook market could be a direct reflection on quality.

As an author whose books are available on Kindle, I often feel like I’m left in the dark when it comes to finding out important information when I visit the KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) dashboard and check out the Amazon FAQ sections or even the Kindle community forum. I often find good information, but just enough about the big highlights, and never an answer to my real question. I feel like Jeff Bezos is the man behind the curtain, or a magician and maybe I’m just giddy with excitement over what the outcome will be. Patience, Shannon, patience!

Recently, we held a poll asking readers if they review books they read and if so, where do they post them. While only 22 people voted in the poll, myself included, the results of their votes were pretty much what I anticipated they would be.

Is November here already? That means only 15 days till the release of Amazon’s Kindle Fire, their android based tablet available for pre-order for $199. It’s the first color version of Kindle, despite it really just being an iPad with Amazon’s name on it for half the price and obviously intended to rival the Nook which has been in color for quite some time now.

Thanks to E-reading, more authors are self-publishing their work solely for Amazon.com’s Kindle. Almost every author that requests a review from us has their book available on Kindle. And almost all of our reviewers here at LLBR have a Kindle or have access to the Kindle app. This makes delivery of a book to a reviewer super simple and super fast! Especially thanks to Amazon’s Kindle Gift function.

Recently, while riding in the car, I don’t know why but I took out my phone and downloaded the free Amazon Kindle App. I’m surprised I even had the phone with me. Most of the time I forget to even carry it. Within minutes, I was reading one of my books which I’m going to review later this month, and I was thinking to myself, “Wow! This is neat! I’ll now have my ebooks with me wherever I go even when I don’t have my iPad!” And then I thought, “Oh shit! What have I become?” I’m one of those people now who read books on their phone.

Do you collect autographed copies of books? Ever wonder what the heck you are going to do as Ebooks keep getting more and more popular? No worries! Just have authors sign your Kindle! That’s right! Evan Jacobs has created a new online program called Kindlegraph. Authors can sign up and load their books to the program, allowing readers to request their virtual signatures. And it’s super simple to use for both readers and authors!
