Amazon’s plan is to start divvying up author royalties for certain types of Kindle e-books based on the number of pages people read, rather than the number of titles they download. So instead of making every time someone downloads one of their e-books, authors will make a small amount of money every time someone turns the virtual page, reports The Atlantic.
The payment program will apply to a specific subset of authors: those who self-publish their books exclusively through Amazon’s “KDP Select” program. This program makes the authors’ books available not only in the Kindle Store, but also through Amazon’s subscription-based Kindle Unlimited program and the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library, which is open to Amazon Prime members.

That is very creepy, that others can know half a world away, exactly what pages I'm looking at.
ReplyDelete"But MOM, I only read Playboy for the ARTICLES!"
Capn Mike, if you use kindle they already knew what pages you are reading even before this innovation.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I figured that. But I couldn't resist the Playboy joke!
