Kindle+

jhowell · Yesterday, 01:33 PM

Has anyone heard of "Kindle+"? I know of "Kindle Kids+", but this is something different.

I was examining the latest version of the Kindle for Android app and came across mention of it in multiple languages. Some examples are:

Kindle+ Membership
Your Kindle+ Titles
You have no Kindle+ titles. Tap on any book with a Kindle+ badge to start reading.

I wonder whether it could refer to an upcoming rebranding of "Kindle Kids+" or "Kindle Unlimited" or something new.

I've not come across it before, but your post got me mildly curious..

I see this book, which is explicitly marketed as "Kindle+ Edition". So perhaps Kindle+ is some sort of library of Amazon-exclusive editions? I don't know: I'm just guessing on the basis of very limited information.

I also saw that book when I searched for Kindle+ online. As far as I can tell "Kindle+ Edition" is just a subtitle added by the author. That book has been available since early last year and so I believe it predates this new meaning of Kindle+. Another book by the same author published around the same time is titled “Ferry to Williamstown: Kindle Plus Edition”.

Ah. Fair enough. Well, it was a nice idea while it lasted
