Traditional Chinese Books now on Kindle
Press release: Amazon Launches Support for Traditional Chinese Books on Kindle

Quote:
Amazon announced today that Kindle customers around the globe can now enjoy reading from a growing selection of more than 20,000 Traditional Chinese language Kindle books with the free Kindle app for iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, and on Kindle devices. Starting today, readers will find a new selection of popular titles in the Kindle store including books from leading authors like Ni Kuang 倪匡, Qiong Yao 瓊瑤, Liu Cixin 劉慈欣 and Pai Hsien-Yung 白先勇, best-sellers like The World Between Us 我們與惡的距離 and You Are The Best 誰說一百分的妳,才是最好的自己, classics like Dream of the Red Chamber 紅樓夢 and Louis Cha Jing-yong Collections 金庸全集 as well as translated bestsellers like Dan Brown’s 丹布朗 Origin 起源, Keigo Higashino’s 東野圭吾 Masquerade Hotel 假面飯店, Hans Rosling’s 漢斯 羅斯林 Factfulness 真確 and George R. R. Martin’s 喬治馬丁 A Song of Ice and Fire Series 冰與火之歌系列. Customers can shop for Traditional Chinese language Kindle books on existing Amazon websites including www.amazon.com/TCBOOKS and www.amazon.ca/TCBOOKS.
From a quick look it seems that these books are only available in the iOS/Android/Fire apps and on Kindles with very recent firmware. It also appears that they are only delivered in KFX format and so cannot be downloaded directly from Amazon using "Download & transfer via USB".

several threads of yours are about “Traditional Chinese Books”, why are you so urgent about that?

It is something new. (My prior thread was from several months ago when they accidentally let slip that this was coming.)

jhowell has been posting information and news on all aspects of kindle formats for years, which many have found interesting and helpful. Why do you think he is emphasizing “Traditional Chinese Books”?

And besides, I would not ask, but simply assume he might know how to read it. Support for foreign language books has been very bad in the past. Used to be that foreign language books were only available in Amazon stores of countries that have them as official language. It has come a long way, but even now geo restrictions make it needlessly hard for people learning a different language, expats and immigrants.

I am excited because I am a native speaker of Traditional Chinese. Next I wish Amazon put more Traditional Chinese books into Kindle Unlimited and add Traditional Chinese interface/special offer for Kindle.

The availability of books is a matter for the publishers, not Amazon.
