After all with
smartphones, iPads etc. you don't need a
kindle to read lots of ebooks and if the
kindle gets locked down then we'll all go an download some other ebook reading
app for our non-kidle hardware devices and let the
kindles whither
on the vine.
KDP is a self - service way for any author to publish books that can be instantly downloaded and read
on Kindles or
on any major
smartphone, tablet, or computer with one of the free Kindle reading
apps.
