In recent weeks, Amazon has stepped up ads to compete. The American firm was initially granted a 30% discount on the Kindle Standard ($ 189 against $ 259 before). It has also introduced a new pay system for publishers by giving them income of 70% on sales (under certain conditions). The application for the Kindle device from Apple (iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch) has developed an audio player function, video, and a version for smartphones running Google Android has also emerged.
