Amazon’s Kindle deal with Waterstones deflates Nook’s global balloon

via www.waterstones.com

Amazon’s deal to sell Kindle e-readers at UK bookseller Waterstones isn’t just a curio particular to the e-book market in England or a point in the long, declining curve of traditional bricks-and-mortar bookstores. It’s also a case study of contrasts between short-term and strategic thinking. Let’s start with the short play and move on from there.

For Waterstones, partnering with Amazon immediately solves a short-term problem with long-term implications. Its customers are increasingly moving towards digital readers. Amazon’s Kindle gives Waterstones a chance to move with them, using what’s far and away the most popular e-reading platform in the UK. As James Daunt, Managing Director of Waterstones, told The Bookseller, “ultimately, when…

Waterstones, one of the UK’s largest booksellers, has signed a deal with Amazon to sell Kindle devices together with “new e-reading services.” Details of the partnership are very thin at present, with more announcements said to be coming this fall. James Daunt, Managing Director of Waterstones, said that the store won’t simply be reselling the Kindle, but rather offering its own services on top:

Amazon shops Kindle Fire home screen to advertisers

Amazon is reportedly meeting with advertisers to pitch the idea of welcome screen ads on its popular Kindle Fire tablet. The retail giant is asking $ 600,000 for prime placement on the slate, according to a report from AdAge. Amazon currently offers its entire range of Kindle eReaders with advertisements that appear on the devices’ screen savers. Customers who opt to purchase a Kindle with ads enjoy discounts of between $ 30 and $ 50 off the purchase price of the devices; if Amazon carries the same model over to its Kindle Fire, the end-user cost of the tablet could drop by as much as 25% to $ 149. Following an explosive launch quarter that saw Amazon’s Kindle Fire take an estimated 14% of the global tablet market after less then two months of availability, the tablet’s market share reportedly tumbled as Apple’s $ 399 iPad 2 extinguished Kindle Fire demand. With rumors surrounding a $ 200-$ 250 “iPad mini” heating up, an ad-supported Kindle Fire with a reduced price tag may help keep Amazon’s 7-inch tablet in the running.

Amazon’s 10-inch Kindle Fire tablet due in Q3, report claims

Amazon’s second Kindle Fire tablet, an updated model with a 10-inch display, will launch in the third quarter this year according to a recent report. Backing away from its earlier reports placing the 10-inch Kindle Fire’s launch date in the second quarter, Digitimes on Friday cited market rumors in claiming that Amazon’s next tablet will launch in the third quarter. The site also reports that the launch of Amazon’s purported 8.9-inch tablet has been suspended. BGR exclusively reported more than a year ago that Amazon was developing two tablets, a 7-inch “Coyote” with a dual-core processor that launched as the Kindle Fire, and a 10-inch “Hollywood” tablet that is powered by a quad-core processor.
