Amazon introduces a new Kindle Fire tablet just for $50 and is offering it in a pack of six at a price of five only. Amazon tablets are already quiet popular among the eBook readers and this initiative seems to be lucrative enough. It is a 7-Ich tablet though not a top-of-the-line tablet and not one of the new Fire HD tablets, and it’s certainly not the Kindle Fire HDX. It has a 1024 x 600 resolution display (although, with IPS), a 1.3Ghz quad-core processor, 8 gigabytes of internal storage, one gigabyte of RAM, and your basic front- and rear-facing cameras. It runs on the latest version of Fire OS and claims seven hours of battery life with average use. Amazon claims this tablet to be more durable than iPad Air, and has two times more processing power than Samsung’s competing Tab 3 Lite. Since 2011 Amazon has been in the low-priced tablet game — when it launched the first Kindle Fire tablet, one of the first high-quality $199 tablets in the market. But $50 sets a new bar for tablets as commodities, at least when they’re made by well-known brands such as Amazon. This move of Amazon is in the same direction as other tablet makers. There is no doubt in the fact that Amazon is offering its Kindle e-readers at so very affordable prices because all it wants is to sell its Kindle E-Books. This idea has thus far worked well for Kindle e-reader and Amazon is expecting the same for its tablets too. The latest version of the Fire Kids Edition tablet, a follow-up to previous year’s dedicated...

Amazon has recently unveiled a new font for their iPhone and iPad apps that is intended to increase readability of the text across various platforms and devices. The font has been specifically designed for Kindle and is supposed to increase the readability of texts by 2%. The font itself is called Bookerly and is replacing the font known as Caecilia. In addition to the new font, Amazon has updated the layout engine. Users will see improvements in kerning, drop caps, text justification, image positioning and even more options and features. The new font has been set as the default font for Kindle Fires and all their apps. It was custom made by Amazon and is similar to Google’s Literata. The hope is that the new font will help improve some of the aesthetic issues that bother users when they are using eBooks. While the font is only 2% better than the previous one, that is still an improvement over the previous font. Overall, it is expected that the improvements to the layout engine are going to be more lauded than the font itself. The changes have made eBooks appear more like print typesetting which makes it easier for readers overall. The changes should particularly help those that often adjust the sizes of the...

Canadian publishers have been giving more and more attention to their eBook efforts. Many publishers in Canada have been slow to join other US and international publishers that focused on eBooks very quickly. However, more Canadian publishing companies are focusing more and more on eBook and digital publishing. The number of publishes that are producing eBooks has increased to 93% in 2014. Experts are predicting that the number will go up even more over the course of this year. Of the 93% of the companies that are producing eBooks, 50% have digitized their active titles and a quarter have digitized about 75% of their backlisted titles. Canadian consumers have been elated with these changes, as many were still waiting to access books in digital format. Most of the publishers are opting to release print and eBook books simultaneously. The publishers are citing increased sales as the reason for releasing eBook versions. Others cited meeting customer demand. The publishers didn’t feel that the digital versions helped them lower costs, unlike previous years. Nevertheless, the companies are increasingly developing eBook platforms and apps to allow their customers direct access to their books only. In addition, more publishers are publishing digital originals within the last year. Many customers and businesses are cheering the constant development that’s being undertaken by the publishers. We can expect to see the eBook market in Canada continue to...

Last month, Amazon released a new platform called WriteOn for authors to post their works in progress and solicit feedback from readers. The platform was developed to compete with Wattpad. The platform was struggling from the start and Amazon has had a harder and harder time with generating interest in the platform itself. The service went public last month after several months of struggling through beta testing. Unfortunately the platform hasn’t taken off since going public either. Most of the conversations are taking place between authors because readers just aren’t using the platform. This is partially attributed to the fact that Amazon tried to get Kindle readers to shift to the platform and left a bad impression with a lot of those readers. Unfortunately for the authors that are posting books, readers just aren’t getting involved with the platform. Wattpad has already engaged most of the readers that are interested in such a platform. They are engaged with the platform that they want to be on and are not branching out to WriteOn. Whether or not the platform will ever catch on remains to be seen. However, it looks like Amazon is already shifting its focus elsewhere. WriteOn may be left to slowly dwindle at this...
