I know this won't apply to everyone but I've just had the following email from Amazon. Useful for improving sales if you have a book published with Kindle and Createspace:
Hello,
We are excited to introduce Kindle MatchBook, an innovative new program which enables you to offer your Kindle book at a discount when readers purchase your print book, so you can sell more books. It's easy to enroll.
Here's how it works:
-Select your Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) title on your KDP Bookshelf and check the Enroll box for Kindle MatchBook on the "Rights & Pricing" page.
-Set the discount for your book by choosing a promotional list price of $2.99 or less.
-Save your Kindle MatchBook preferences.
By enrolling your book, you will be among the first to be able to take advantage of this new program. The Kindle MatchBook discount you select will not appear on Amazon.com until the program is fully launched in the coming weeks. We will notify you by e-mail as soon as your Kindle MatchBook discount is live. Your readers will soon have an easy and affordable way to read your book in both print and digital formats.
Visit your KDP Bookshelf today to enroll your books in Kindle MatchBook.
KDP is the best thing since sliced bread. Kobo is crap in comparison and Smashwords never seems to get me any sales at all!
I don't even know what KDP is, but I'm guessing its got something to do with books...
Can't see that this is going to improve sales that much. If any at all.
Need to have a book published in the first place so probably won't apply to many people. Plus I can't see that it's really going to make much difference even to those who have got books published.
Great thanks!
Now just to write and publish that book... :)
