Kindle has become huge over the last few years. Everywhere
you go, in every direction you see people are normally holding their
Kindle's and being engrossed in their reading.
It has become equally as popular as an online business model.
People from all around the world have written eBooks and turned themselves into
published authors.
You might not see yourself as an author - but as we're going
to discuss writing a book doesn't have to be as difficult as you
might imagine. The truth is that Kindle can be a great business to get
into for many people - and as well as having the fun of seeing
your book on the virtual shelves it can also be extremely lucrative too.
So, let’s answer the most obvious question:
Why has Kindle become so popular with users?
Whether you're on a train, bus or sitting in the park you're
always seeing people with their eyes down reading their Kindle. Quite
honestly it is MASSIVE - and it's probably only going to grow even more over
the next years. But why has it become so popular?
When the idea of e-readers first came about many people scoffed at
the concept and said that they wouldn't take off because people would
always prefer reading from a traditional book. They argued that part of
the reading experience is turning the pages and seeing lots of books on
your shelves at home.
And they’re right, that’s quite an experience. Old habit die hard!
But also without change there is no innovation, creativity and incentive for improvement.
Perhaps a key reason for Kindle's popularity is that you can store an entire
library of books on one small, portable device. It doesn't matter whether
you've got 2, 3 or 100 books stored on your Kindle - it'll still take up
exactly the same amount of space in your bag, meaning that you can take your
entire book collection with you wherever you go.
Along a similar line is that with a Kindle you can purchase a book
at the touch of a button. Let's say you are browsing the internet one day and
come across a new book that you really want to read. Before the days of Kindle
you would have to order it and wait for it to be delivered - or you would need
to pop to the shops and grab a copy. With a Kindle you can purchase the book at
a touch of a button and have it sitting on your device just a minute
later.
Of course there ARE some disadvantages to Kindle. Books with lots
of images, for example, can be better when you've got a hard copy. However, in
recent years Kindle has come up with their Fire devices to combat this
nonetheless. These Kindle's are now fully functioning tablet computers that
compete with devices such as Apple's iPad, thus introducing Kindle to a whole
new audience and expanding the possibilities considerably.
