Kindle Exclusive and Growing Media Attention
By Jane • Jul 19th, 2008 • Category: Publishing News • •Samhain Publishing isn’t the only publisher offering Kindle only exclusives. Through the publishing arm of Amazon, Mitch Albom is selling his “Commencement Speech To His Nephew’s Graduating Class: May 30, 2008, Nice France” for 99 cents. The profits are being donated to a Detroit-based charity for the homeless. Amazon expects more of this Kindle exclusive content.
The question, of course, will be whether Amazon can garner enough exclusive content to lure readers away from other ereading devices.
Kindle is being talked about regularly in the news from the Times to the New York Times to even Warren Buffet, a purported technophone, contemplating the purchase.

Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!
