Today, Amazon is launching Kindle Singles. If you are thinking about getting out your old record player and LPs then think again. Kindle Singles is an unexploited niche for eBooks that don’t fall into the size of typical publishing formats. In many cases, 30 to 90 pages might be the ideal length for authors to convey an idea about their concept that can make all the difference. With the advent of Kindle Singles this is now a possibility.

“Ideas and the words to deliver them should be crafted to their natural length, not to an artificial marketing length that justifies a particular price or a certain format,” said Russ Grandinetti, Vice President, Kindle Content. “With Kindle Singles, we’re reaching out to publishers and accomplished writers and we’re excited to see what they create.”

Amazon did not say how much authors could charge for their Singles, however they will be much less than a typical book. Amazon is currently making a call to serious writers, thinkers, scientists, business leaders, historians to publish their singles which will be available in their own section in the Kindle Store.
