Amazon launches Kindle Stores for Spain & Italy no comments
Amazon announced today that Kindle Stores have been added to both Amazon.es and Amazon.it. Both of the new Kindle Stores launch with something over 900,000 titles. The Spanish store includes over 22,000 Kindle books in Spanish and the Italian store opens with over 16,000 Italian-language titles. The bulk of the ebooks on offer are in English or other languages. Both stores only sell the basic Kindle ereader for 99EUR at the moment.
Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is now available for both stores, which will enable authors and publishers worldwide to self-publish to readers in Spain and Italy. There are new Italian-language and Spanish-language KDP websites that authors and publishers working in these languages can use to make their work available to Kindle Stores worldwide. Amazon’s 70% royalty option is available for Kindle books published via KDP and sold in both Spain and Italy.
