Looks like there is now a new method for authors to sell their short stories and literatures online as Amazon.com has introduced a system where people can purchase an author’s work for 49 cents and then view it by simply downloading a pdf file, viewing it online or receiving it through e-mail.
I’m always a big fan of these kinds of methods that help people to distribute their work and products to a global audience. This definitely creates another opportunity for people to make money online as the level of playing field is now more open for writers who are struggling to get their work published for people to buy. I guess we now play the wait and see game, but hopefully a lot of people will benefit from it and at the same time this will probably introduce readers to new undiscovered authors as well.
