Amazon’s new Kindle policy for royalties’ compensation
Amazon announced the change of its Kindle policy (Kindle Unlimited and Kindle Owners’ Lending Library) concerning payment of loyalties to self-published authors which will be based from 1st of July 2015 on the number of pages read.
This paradoxical strategy is justified by Amazon with the following statement: “We’re making this switch in response to great feedback we received from authors who asked us to better align payout with the length of books and how much customers read”.
