Amazon Plans to Give Free Kindle Ebook Readers to Prime Subscribers
The online retailing giant is taking swipe at Apple’s aggressive encroachment to its e-book dominance. Jeff Bezos is obviously irate at Apple’s decision to offer iPad book publishers the right to price their electronic versions —- therefore undercutting Amazon’s fixed $9.99 rate per digital book rate. Most publishing giants are now defecting to the Apple iPad Tablet PC platform and abandoning the Kindle. It has been the main selling point of Kindle since 2007, cheap electronic bestsellers at a fixed $9.99.
