Want to enroll in Kindle MatchBook? Vook is standing by to set you up.

Kindle MatchBook allows customers who buy or have ever bought a new print book from Amazon – dating back to 1995 – the option to purchase the Kindle edition of that book for $2.99 or less. It's an obvious coup for customers, who have long requested the option to bundle the two items.

But how do authors benefit? MatchBook facilitates a sale that might not have happened otherwise. For example, if a customer purchases a print book for $12.99, she likely won't purchase the ebook for $6.99 in a separate transaction. But if the ebook is included as a $2.99 add-on, the potential is much greater.
