With rumors of incipient Unlimited expansion of Amazon Kindle, many are considering to use this service to national or supranational level in order to save some cash . What looks like a bad joke, is slowly becoming a reality that I hope never will be completely.
Rumor Kindle Unlimited coming to Europe and the rest of the world in the month October, appearing officially at the Frankfurt Book Fair. These rumors have left behind the leaks of several European publishers to activate the service in October, date of Messe Frankfurt.
At news many Lawmakers have been considering the idea to remove or replace the library service in your region by Kindle Unlimited , stating that it would save a lot of money. Indeed if Amazon’s service is paid, in some areas you can go cheaper, but libraries are more than just a repository of books, which today we know all or at least most of them.
Although such ideas or budgets wits and appear to be more consistent in the next election or the pursuit of fame for European charges of studied reflection. Since you may in the future reading service via streaming occupy 80 to 90% of the activity of a library, but at the possibility What service will? Why must be Amazon Unlimited? Why you can not do other service
On the other hand, possibly Kindle Unlimited is the best currently do not know, but we have no data on the functioning or adaptation , know the number of active users of the service and their satisfaction as for the time Amazon has not been transparent about it nor do we know how he responds to the authors and to the rights digital. Many questions and no answers, something that only causes controversy and nothing more.
Still and in conclusion, to express my strong opposition to the idea of replacing libraries Kindle subscription to Unlimited. The idea seems retrograde mostly because such an idea would work if libraries were warehouses of books, but they are not what I think, so it will only be possible in places whose legislators prefer photo before spreading culture. All I wanted to show with this post is the fragility of the idea, even as outlandish and consintiéndola.
