Kindle Vella

[GinnyPPC]

Am I reading this right? Looks like Amazon is creating a serialized story portal similar to what we have here. Called Kindle Vella. Is this something we have to worry about? If it is, I can just see a lot of work stolen and posted over there.

I'm not sure if I can link directly to the web page, but you can use your favorite search engine and look for "Kindle Vella"

It's pay per view after a few free chapters. Why pay, when you can read for free here?

Someone might be able to monetize it, but I doubt anyone will get rich. I'd be checking back in a year's time to see how far it flies.

I take your point about content, but why worry about that? You put your content here for free, so you lose nothing.

For some reason, the reasonable "Why pay for what you can read for free here?" isn't a total shut-off of paying for it. Just sayin'. It continually surprises me as well.

From what I read today it works out to about 22c per chapter.
