Amazon Launches Singles Classics to Resell Timeless Essays from Top Writers and Magazines

Amazon this morning is introducing a new way to read short-form content on Kindle devices and in the Kindle app with the launch of “Singles Classics.” The service will bring articles, stories and essays from well-known authors and top periodicals – many available in digital format for the first time. The articles will be priced at 99 cents each, with writers and publishers retaining up to 70 percent of the royalties from the sale of every copy.

For those who subscribe to Kindle Unlimited, Singles Classics will be available for free.
