iBooks App Slips, Then Recovers as Kindle App Jumps in the iPad App Store

May 8, 2010–Could this be a watershed moment for the iBooks and Kindle apps? Or only for the Pocket Pond?

Apple’s iBooks Store has just fallen from the top rung among free iPad Apps in Apple’s Top Charts listing. Beatweek Magazine called attention to the iBooks’ slippage, in which it has been supplanted an utterly lovely ambient app called Pocket Pond (see screen shot at the right, but it is just the beginning). As the screen shots at the end of this post attest, the brand new Pocket Pond is the new #1 free app for the iPad, iBooks has fallen to #2, and the Kindle Store has climbed from the mid-20s to #13 in recent days.

Naturally, after all we have heard about iBooks during the past three months, most of us iPad owners were eager to download it for free and try it out. The reading environment is very nice for indoor reading, but iBooks has a long way to go to compete in the ebook content marketplace when it comes to selection, prices, user-friendly search/sort/browse features, and access to a critical mass of reader ratings and reviews.

The flip side of these shortcomings and the obvious likelihood of comparison with the 2 1/2 year old granddaddy of all ebook readers may be among the reasons why the iBooks fall is juxtaposed with the Kindle app’s rise, but they are not the only reasons. As the three ads on a single web page in the screen shot at right suggest, however anecdotally, Amazon is investing plenty in making sure that iPad owners and enthusiasts are aware of the ease with which they can download the Kindle for iPad app free in a few seconds to gain access its 512,000 ebook offerings, at a mean price that’s about half the mean price of the iBooks store’s comparatively meager array catalog offerings.

Of course, snapshots are just snapshots, and it remains to be seen what the long-term trends will be. I’m finding the iPad a terrific place to read Kindle books, listen to free Audiobooks and paid Audible.com books, and read free Internet Archive texts in ePub with the Stanza for iPhone app (even after the departure of Stanza fountainhead Neelan Choksi from Stanza.Amazon.com yesterday). Stanza doesn’t show up in the iPad rankings because its app is designed for the iPhone and iPod Touch and has not been optimized for the iPad, but it remains prominent in the smaller devices’ app store ebook-related rankings and may still be the best way for an iPad owner to access over two million texts that are available from the Internet Archive, to say nothing of 12 million titles that may be available in the sweet bye and bye from Google Books.

Update: As of 7 am ET May 11, 2010, the iBooks App has moved back to the #1 Free Apps position in Apple’s TopCharts sales rankings, but the Kindle app continues to climb and has passed a Solitaire app and the Dictionary.com app to move into the #10 position.

Guest Post: Kindle Sales Raised The Ark From Abyss; What’s Next?

by

Guest Post by Tom Dulaney

Without the Kindle and Amazon digital text publishing, Boyd Morrison‘s The Ark would lie unnoticed under an ocean of publishing house rejection slips.

Instead, The Ark arrives in Kindle and hardcover as well as audiobook format with a fanfare of publicity from Simon & Schuster on May 11.  Tradition says an author hits the big time when his book debuts as a hardcover.  However, that tradition is under challenge, and The Ark stands as a prime example of the emerging power of ebooks and Kindle Nation.

The Ark is sailing through a hurricane of a battle in the book industry over book prices, ebook prices, author’s royalties, control of who sets prices….and so on in a massive complexity the average reader may not care a whit about. Amazon has discounted the hardcover pre-orders 34% from $24.99 to $16.49, but under the agency model Simon & Schuster has set the ebook price at $11.99, considerably higher than the original ebook price at which The Ark’s sales first caught the publisher’s attention.

Nor may they care about Boyd’s financial fate, beyond hoping he earns enough from The Ark to keep him at the keyboard.  If, that is, readers take to this swashbuckling new author who dared scale the heights of publishing.

Boyd, his book, and his experience in the last year of winning the attention of the publishing industry with methods both tried and true as well as iconoclastic and new, may make for an interesting case study on the explosively changing world of books.

The voyage of this Ark reads like a thriller.  The handsome protagonist dreams of being a bestselling thriller book writer.  He doggedly pursues his goal, meantime building an amazing career as a Ph. D. in Industrial Engineering.  To pay the bills, he holds great jobs at NASA, Microsoft and RCA.  Ten US Patents bear his name.  Plus, he’s a professional actor with credits in commercials, movies and stage plays.

Then his wife announces her dream:  to be a doctor.  They make a plan.  Boyd sets aside his dream for nearly a decade.

She becomes a doctor 9 years later.  Boyd quits a stellar job at Microsoft’s X-Box Games Group to write once more.  At a writer’s conference, he’s late for a meeting and sits at the last open table.  Agent Irene Goodman hears about The Ark.  She takes him on as a client.  Two hope-filled, rejection-filled years follow.

“By 2009 we were finished,” Morrison says.

“At about that time I saw that anyone could self-publish in the Kindle store,” he said.  “It was really an afterthought to publish a Kindle version, just something else to do to try to find readers.  I did no promotion—just put the books up to see what would happen.”

As Morrison tells it, the books landed in the Kindle store on March 13, 2009.  By mid-June, he says, some 7,500 had sold on Amazon, and another 7,500 or so had been downloaded from his web site.

“They were selling at a rate of about 3,500 to 4,000 a month by June,” Morrison said.

Meantime, the American Booksellers of America has selected The Ark as an Indie Next Great Read book for May.

Setting all the backstory and hype aside, how good is the book?  Instant review by this reporter: can’t-miss page turner that’ll rob you of at least one night’s sleep.  Every bit the equal of top-of-the list authors’ novels.

Finely tuned, lovingly crafted, relentlessly exciting vessels, Boyd sails his novels into the winds of Fate on May 11, with The Ark as flagship.

A second thriller, Rogue Wave (retitled from The Palmyra Impact), is available for pre-order now, and releases October 11, 2010.

A third, The Adamas Blueprint, releases in December 2011.

Will the hero of this real-life thriller tale overcome all odds?

Well, I’m the last person to play the spoiler.

Amazon’s New Offer to Buy Back Over a Million Print-Book Titles Could Fund Your Purchase of a Kindle, an iPad, or a Kindle eBook Library

by

If you are one of the millions of us who are in the midst of a gradual transition from print books to ebooks, and it is one that involves downsizing your print book library, here’s something to ponder:

A major announcement by Amazon this morning means that, if you have a hundred or so of the right used books lying around the house or dormitory room, Amazon could help you help yourself to a brand new Kindle, or iPad, or library of ebooks by providing you with a valuable Amazon Gift Card.

Amazon has just announced that they have expanded what they call their Textbook Buyback Program to include over a million titles, including hundreds of thousands of nonfiction and fiction books that are not, strictly speaking, textbooks. The program has been around for over a year, but until today’s announcement a relatively small percentage of titles were eligible. Just to give you a sense of the newly expanded range of this “textbook” program, all of the top 10 titles on the New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction Bestseller list are eligible and the average amount Amazon would pay you for them is equal to 44% of the discounted price for which the same hardcovers are available in Amazon’s main bookstore.

What’s great about this development, in addition to the wide selection of qualifying titles and the reasonably good prices being offered, is the utter simplicity of the program. There’s no need for you to become an Amazon Marketplace seller, to get into some kind of annoying daily shipping routine, to pay for shipping, or to sit around waiting for buyers to become interested in your books.

With the Textbook Buyback Program, you just follow a few simple steps, and you’re done. A few days later Amazon will deposit money into your Amazon account in the form of an Amazon Gift Card that will be automatically available for you to buy a brand new Kindle or Kindle DX, an Apple iPad, your choice of Kindle books, or anything else in the Amazon Store. Easy as 1-2-3:

  1. First, go to the Textbook Buyback Program page and enter the ISBN to check price and availability. It’s your choice whether to send off a single book or a boxful.
  2. When you’ve finished entering the books you want to send back, Amazon will prompt you to print a shipping label so that you can package and ship your books free of charge.
  3. Check your inbox and your Amazon account for your new gift card(s), and you could be on your way to a free Kindle, iPad, or other item(s)!

Here’s the guts of Amazon’s press release this morning:

Over 1 Million Books Now Eligible for the Amazon.com Textbook Buyback Program

Just in time for the end of the semester, customers can now choose from over one million books to trade in for high prices at Amazon.com

SEATTLE, May 10, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) –Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) today announced that over 1 million books are now eligible for the Textbook Buyback program, which allows customers to quickly and easily exchange used textbooks in return for an Amazon.com Gift Card. Available year-round, the Textbook Buyback program offers students the ability to trade in textbooks they no longer need for a high price. For more information about the Textbook Buyback program, visit: http://www.amazon.com/buyback.

Textbook Buyback offers great prices on over 1 million eligible titles. Not only is it easy to use, but students can avoid long lines at the bookstore and trade in their textbooks from their dorm rooms or from home without facing buyback deadlines. Students just visit www.amazon.com/buyback, and search for the books they want to trade. Then students can print a pre-paid shipping label and drop the package in the mail. Once the book is received and verified by the third-party merchant that purchases the titles, an Amazon.com Gift Card will be deposited into the student’s Amazon.com account. This gift card can be used toward the purchase of next semester’s books, or the millions of other items on Amazon.com.

“With a great selection of titles, low textbook costs and high prices for Textbook Buyback, we continue to make the Textbook Store an easy and economical option for our student customers,” said Julie Todaro, director of Books at Amazon.com. “Buying textbooks is no longer the financial burden it once was for students, and we’re happy that we’ve been able to make Textbook Buyback even more convenient with over 1 million books now available to trade in for high prices. Students are crazy if they’re still selling their books back on campus.”

The Amazon.com Textbooks Store (www.amazon.com/buyback) helps students manage the high cost of textbooks by offering savings of up to 30 percent off the list price of more than 100,000 new textbooks and up to 90 percent off the list price of millions of used textbooks.

Swashbuckling Fantasy: 10 Thrilling Tales of Magical Adventure, a Sampler from Simon & Schuster

Nothing’s been ordinary in the world of ebooks lately, but ordinarily, lately, when you see the line “This price was set by the publisher” on a Kindle ebook’s product page it is Amazon’s way of letting us know  that there’s bad news adjacent to it in the form of one of those special “agency price-fixing model” prices. $12? $15? One never knows.

But here’s a breath of fresh air! Big Six publisher Simon & Schuster has done some creative thinking about how to leverage the power of “free” in the Kindle Store and used the agency price-fixing model to try something new, with a substantial volume of freebies under the lusty title Swashbuckling Fantasy: 10 Thrilling Tales of Magical Adventure.

Just what do I mean by substantial? 

  • First, these are 10 tales by 10 authors each with her own substantial oeuvre of fantasy titles already, so of course the authors and the publisher are hoping that this process will work for them and lead readers to their other work in the same way that we have seen work so effectively with our own Free Kindle Nation Shorts program. The authors represented are Jane Johnson, Linda BuckleyArcher, Scott Westerfeld, Kai Meyer, Alan Snow, Anne Ursu, Obert Skye, Margaret Peterson Haddix, D.J. MacHale and Holly Black.
  • Second, for those of you who, like me, take a look at file size and “number of locations” in an ebooks metadata and free sample before committing to a book, you’ll recognize that the offering’s file size of 1320 KB and its 3,936 “locations” spell a book of significant size and virtual weight.
  • Third, my quick perusal of the full text indicates that, unlike many “sampler” offerings, these 10 tales appear to be just that — tales, self-contained short stories or novellas — rather than frustrating tastes of an excerpted chapter or two.

So, bravo, Simon & Schuster! This is just the kind of thing that the big publishers should be doing to experiment with and begin to figure out the retail marketing power of distinctive pricing and free-to-paid linkages, so we’ve got your back if some of the other agency price-fixing model publishers whine that you are engaging in competitive and adversarial behavior.

And, of course, we still have dozens of other freebies in the Kindle Store, in case you’ve missed any of them.

Tip: How to Set Up a Text "Slideshow" to Allow Automatic Page Turns and Hands-Free Reading with the Kindle

by

Want to read a book on your Kindle without having to use your hands to turn the pages?

This feature exists with a straightforward “slideshow” command or shortcut on the Kindle 1: you just press ALT+0 to enable the slideshow, then press ALT+1 to start it and ALT+2 to stop it.

The feature was abandoned for the latest-generation Kindle (Kindle 2) and the Kindle DX, but there’s an easy work-around involving the Text-to-Speech feature. Since text-to-speech is involved, this will work only on books and documents for which Text-to-Speech is enabled, but here are the steps:

  1. Open the book or document for which you want to enable hands-free reading.
  2. Press the font key marked “Aa” just to the right of the spacebar on your Kindle keyboard.
  3. Select “turn on” Text-to-Speech, and after a few seconds the book’s pages will begin turning to keep up with the Text-to-Speech feature.
  4. Use the volume control on the upper right edge of the Kindle to turn the volume all the way down, unless you prefer to listen to Text-to-Speech as you read.
  5. Press the font key marked “Aa” again and use the “Speech Rate” control to control the speed of the page turns.
  6. When you are ready to stop the automatic page turns, just press the font key marked “Aa” again and select “turn off” Text-to-Speech.

This feature works especially well with a bookstand such as the M-Edge Platform series.

Please note: regardless of volume level, the Text-to-Speech feature and other audio features make intensive use of Kindle battery power, so be prepared to recharge your Kindle battery more frequently if you are using such features.

Are Agency Model Publishers Hanging Together or Playing for Their Own Edges? Latest Kindle Nation Price Survey Shows Decline in Titles Priced Over $9.99!

by

By Stephen Windwalker, Editor of Kindle Nation Daily

It’s been exactly a month since we last took a systematic look at the population of ebook price points in the Kindle Store, so it seems a good time for a fresh look after five weeks of experience with the agency model. under the agency model, we were told, some of the big publishers were colluding with Apple to take retail ebook pricing out of the hands of retailers such as the Kindle Store and replace Amazon’s standard of $9.99 as a price for newly released ebooks with a 30% to 50% increase to price points between $12.99 and $14.99.

The remarkable news is that very little has changed when it comes to Kindle Store ebook prices, and if anything in the past 30 days the trends are toward lower prices. Alas, publishers! How can you make collusive price fixing work if some of you are playing for an edge and hoping that your partners, er, competitors will maintain their unpopular high prices?

After a brief period in late March and early April when we saw slight increases in the percentage of books prices over $9.99, there have been small but significant decreases at the same levels since April 7. Among the 511,259 ebook listings in the Kindle Store as of 9 a.m. today, May 7, 2010, the total percentage of books prices above $9.99 has decreased from 22.69% to 21.73%, essentially a full percentage point.

Meanwhile, while the percentage of titles priced at exactly $9.99 has decreased slightly from 11.01% to 10.62% during the past months, listings at all price points from 99 cents up to $9.98 have increased.

Other recent trends:

  • The overall size of the Kindle Store catalog has continued to increase by about 800 titles a day, growing from about 487,000 on April 7 to over 511,00 this morning.
  • The increase of over 63,000 in the number of Kindle Store titles since February 25 is roughly equivalent to the total number of listings in Apple’s iBooks Store at launch.
  • The number of free titles in the Kindle Store declined from 4.2% to 4.0% during the past month, while the number of free titles in the iBooks Store is reportedly somewhere between one-third and one-half of all iBooks titles.

 Among the 100 top Kindle Store “bestsellers,” it’s a case of plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose.

  • As of this morning, 59 of these titles were free, 2 were between $.01 and $3, 15 between $3 and $9.98, 16 at $9.99, and 8 at $10 and up.
  • As of April 7, 61 of the 100 top Kindle Store “bestsellers” were free, 1 was between $.01 and $3, 16 between $3 and $9.98, 12 at $9.99, and 9 at $10 and up.

It will be interesting to see how the pricing array evolves over the next two months, as Amazon prepares to increase its royalty structure to 70%, by June 30, for thousands of independent authors and smaller publishers who participate fully in Kindle features and maintain or bring their suggested Kindle Store retail prices into Amazon’s preferred range between $2.99 and $9.99, inclusive.

Here’s a price breakdown of the 511,759 book titles in the Kindle Store as of 9 a.m. EDT on May 7, 2010:
