  • Publishers Take Note: The Kindle Fire means Increased eBook Sales

    The Kindle Fire and the newer, cheaper Kindles mean an additional retail outlet. A round-up of Amazon’s new prices:

    • Kindle Fire (tablet) $199
    • Kindle $79
    • Kindle Touch $99
    • Kindle Touch 3G $149
    • Kindle Keyboard $99
    • Kindle Keyboard 3G $139

    Amazon is already experiencing pre-orders for the Kindle Fire, and we’ll also see regular Kindle sales jump. When the iPad launched, Vook sales tripled the next day and have only increased since then. When the iPad 2 launched, we also saw a significant lift in sales. Devices just move more books. And kudos to Amazon for picking a magic price point. Ereaders will be in the hands of more of readers soon, and you can expect that they’ll be demanding high-quality digital content as well.

    The Kindle Fire is an attractive device. With access to Amazon’s cloud library and it’s 7″ color screen, the Kindle Fire will support video, high-quality images, and excellent ebook design. If you’re not already doing digital, you’re going to miss out.
