The Kindle Chronicles

Author of Let’s Get Digital and Let’s Get Visible   Interview starts at 16:56 and ends at 44:39   If you look at stores like Barnes and Noble and Kobo and Apple, I don’t think they’ve even caught up to where the Kindle Store was in 2011 or 2012 yet, let alone approaching where it is now in 2015. I still think they haven’t grasped the core part of Amazon’s philosophy, which is that they will always seek to recommend that they think you are most likely to purchase—not the one that a company has paid a certain amount, so they’ll shove it under your nose.    News Amazon’s second-quarter earnings release - July 23, 2015 “Investors React to Amazon’s Shocking Earnings Beat” at Zack.com - July 24, 2014 “Another wake-up call from Amazon as they serve author interests better than publishers have” at The Shatzkin Files - July 23, 2015 About Amazon Follow FAQ from Amazon on anti-trust settlement credits   Tech Tip How to use Kindle FreeTime to manage your child’s reading content The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer   Interview with David Gaughran Joanna Penn’s interview with David Gaughran (video) at YouTube - January 22, 2012 “The Great Amazon Hysteria… Part 31” by David Gaughran at his blog - June 26, 2015 Author Earnings Open Road Media   Content Books by David Gaughran: Mercenary, an historical novel Let’s Get Digital: How to Self-Publish, And Why You Should : Updated Second Edition Let’s Get Visible: How to Get Noticed and Sell More Books   Next Week’s Guest Chris Meadows, editor of TeleRead
