Good e-Reader - The latest news on e-readers and e-paper

“Amazon will let you download your e-books in EPUB in 2026”

So, this could be big for authors on KDP. Customers will be able to use any eReader they wish to read their books.

I’ve been on a Kobo Clara Colour (with Kobo Plus) for a while. And I’d love to slip a few Kindle Exclusive titles in. The whole exclusivity thing is kind of galling, from an e-reader/walled garden perspective.

This sounds great from a consumer-freedom perspective. But I understand there may be some authors who are reluctant or worried.

Personally... If the Napster wars era of mp3’s (ending up in Spotify/Amazon Music/et al.) taught anyone anything, it is that as long as you provide a product at a reasonable price, in a conveniently accessible manner, you won’t have a piracy problem.

For anyone who publishes through KDP:

You may want to turn on Digital Rights Management (DRM) to avoid PDFs of your work being potentially distributed across the web.

I used to not have it on there, but this new policy changed my mind.

What 350 KDP Pages Read in One Go Taught Me About Being an Indie Author

The first thing that hit me when I opened my KDP dashboard today was that modest little number: “350 pages read.” No huge royalty spike, no bestseller badge, just that quiet metric glowing back at me.
