Best Links for Book Marketing/ Promotions around the Web. May 11th 2012
Hi folks,
Did you hear that on June 16th all seven of the Harry Potter books will be available on the Kindle Owner’s Lending Library? That’s huge news! I’m sure this move will spark more and more traditional publishers to enroll in KDP Select in order to be a part of it. I love the fact I can borrow books on my Kindle, just like from a real library. What are your thoughts?
Enjoy your weekend, whatever you’re up to!

Yes, I love the idea of Kindle being part of a library. There is also room for town libraries to have an online presence. Maybe that’s Amazon’s long-term vision. :)
It’s certainly happening already Debbie – in Seattle at least they are introducing eBooks to the library websites. It will be interesting to see how far and fast it spreads across the country and whether it can catch on in other areas. Thanks for your comment :)
