Hello,

We are excited to introduce Kindle MatchBook, an innovative new program which enables you to offer your Kindle book at a discount when readers purchase your print book, so you can sell more books. It's easy to enroll.

Here's how it works:

Select your Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) title on your KDP Bookshelf and check the Enroll box for Kindle MatchBook on the "Rights & Pricing" page.
Set the discount for your book by choosing a promotional list price of $2.99 or less.
Save your Kindle MatchBook preferences.
By enrolling your book, you will be among the first to be able to take advantage of this new program. The Kindle MatchBook discount you select will not appear on Amazon.com until the program is fully launched in the coming weeks. We will notify you by e-mail as soon as your Kindle MatchBook discount is live. Your readers will soon have an easy and affordable way to read your book in both print and digital formats.

Visit your KDP Bookshelf today to enroll your books in Kindle MatchBook.

Best regards,
The Kindle Direct Publishing Team

Wonder if we can make the ebook FREE with the paperback purchase?

I just updated mine to include the Matchbook. If I recall, and I'm not into my first cup of coffee but the options were $2.99, $1.99, and 99¢.

(I threw that ¢ sign in there just 'cause I finally figured out how to do it on my Mac.)

Yes, you can make it free, I just looked in my control panel. I set my all to 99 cents for now. I may make them free later.

I've enrolled my books, at free. That was a no-brainer for me, since I've been doing the same at OneBookShelf for a while. I sell hardly any paper books at OneBookShelf, and not many at Amazon, but I see it as a way to make the customer happier at no real cost. I realise that it's a potential lost sale, but I doubt it's very significant, and I think the benefit of making readers happier outweighs it.

Well I haven't even breeched the Paper Tiger. Have limited everything to ebooks at this point. I've considered doing paper through the Amazon affiliate but ....
