About one, the last Kindle Paperlight. Well, Amazon is surely a great company, drawing its web through its supermarkets application. Stilll, reading the article, it points out one thing to me:
How to raise quality of ebooks released? I am an "author", and true enough, mystakes are easy to make whatever the review and correct options you are taking. Microsoft Word is an english based software, not aware of all tweaks of French or even English languages.
Hence true quality is mainly up to the author nowadays, and the main parameter slowing self published ebooks to enjoy the success it will enjoy. Well from feedbacks, publishers are making these grammar checks as additionnal paid services or on the own work of the author. Most good proofreading persons have seen this niche and making most of it. Because, sincerely, yes, the first feedback I have on the first review of any of my books, is about that. Well, after it is simpler to update the file on KDP than on paper, that's for sure.
And on the ads side, don't know who is managing the kindle product, certainly many people, given all the different prices for the same products here or in Europe, or elsewhere, and now that:
Reading trough the lines display, I saw first a repetition, cannot be anything else, or a marketing move to make me speak about the new product... It worked.
"J'ai retrouvé retrouvé Neal pas très longtemps après la mort de mon père..."
or "I have met met Neat not so long after my father died..."
So, Retrouvé, retrouvé??? really?
On the same field, when applying to amazon, I always get the same writing line displayed:
"Vous avez déjà postuler à cette offre. En attendant notre réponse vous pouvez postuler a une autre offre"
Aie, I know English is the main language of Amazon. Yet, if you are making the effort of using automatic pages, get it right. with a é and a à and a comma please.
Well, I am sure Amazon won't be angry at my comments. Any bad comments are still good publicity, and the system of feedbacks from Amazon constitutes an essential tool for the success the company enjoys.
I am not angry when someone points a mystake, it can happen to everyone, still a business, a gathering of one and one and one and more? Sure this post and others might have mystakes, well I do not enjoy the same visibility as ...
Well as of the product the kindle paperlight. need to see it physically first before sharing any of my impressions... I do enjoy the cosy light a traditionnal book can be read with. Looks to me like a decent marketing moves, creating the needs where well ... And seeing the rendering of ebooks on the ipad, looks kind of the same as the pictures. Maybe a move Amazon has to do to keep on, of course. So for now, still a fan of the kindle touch whenever I will buy an ebook reader.
Une écriture fluide, un discours qui court le long des rails. Un récit découverte. J’ai pris place a bord du transsibérien une première fois avec le génialissime, selon moi, Andrei Makine, cette fois, avec Maylis de Kerangal, dans une atmosphère beaucoup plus pesante. La syntaxe compose un flot qui aère les lignes vers la légèreté d’une lecture sans contraintes. Donc un autre récit le long de cette trame, avant que je ne le découvre, un jour.
