via Pamela Benavides,

Most people have heard of affiliate marketing, even if they haven’t actually started doing it. Affiliate marketing is basically referring people to various products and services around the internet. For each sale you generate through your affiliate link, you earn a commission. The size of the commission depends on the products themselves, who is selling them and the percentage offered by the seller to the affiliate.

But what is actually involved in affiliate marketing? What do affiliates do on a daily basis? How do they earn money and how do they learn what to do?

1 An Example Of A Successful Website

There’s several ways of marketing products and services online. Many affiliates create a blog first and sell products and services through their blog. Martin Lewis has a very successful website called moneysavingexpert.com. This is also an affiliate website. By creating content and helping people decide which service to use: which credit card offers to choose, the best interest rate etc. moneysavingexpert.com makes money by sending website visitors to various offers. If a sale is made through this website, the link this credited to it and a commission is made. By creating content, offering value and helping people make sensible choices, the website has built a reputation and become more prevalent over time. Google ranks the site highly in the search engines and thousands of people use it to make purchasing decisions every day.

2 How Can I Get Started As An Affiliate?

Affiliate marketing is huge. There are thousands of people already making their main source of income from the internet. To get started as an affiliate you need to learn some basic strategies and build various methods of generating traffic from the internet to those offers. A lot of affiliates start with a simple blog. Many travelers ‘blog’ about their travels. If you don’t have a passion or interest to blog about, you can start by following an online course which will help. See my bio for more info on this.

3 How Long Does It Take To Make A Living?

Some people go into affiliate marketing with the intention of creating a second income. Some people want to make big money. Depending on how much time you can dedicate to your affiliate business, and how dedicated you are to it, is a big factor in determining your results. Results vary from person to person. With a large advertising budget and the right business model, some affiliates have replaced their living in 6-12 months. For others it can take years before it replaces their existing income. Depending on your approach, advertising budget, and business model, it can take between 3 months and several years to build it to a point where it can replace an existing income.

4 Can Anyone Do It?

One of the great things about affiliate marketing is that the technology is now available to allow anyone to build their own online business. As long as you are prepared to learn and implement that knowledge, anyone who can operate an email, can use online platforms and tools to build their own online business. The main thing you need is the desire to learn. Affiliate marketing isn’t for everyone though. It does take a lot of hard work and it can take years before you are rewarded financially.

5 What Are The Pitfalls Of An Affiliate Business?

You need to dedicate some time to your affiliate business for it to work for the long term. Some people go into affiliate marketing thinking it is some magic pill which will pay them instantly in cash. Much like a job you can’t expect to get out more than you put in. Affiliate marketing is performance related. This means you don’t get paid unless you can successfully sell products and services online. If you don’t know what you are doing it can take years to do this. You can’t be a dabbler and expect to earn the big money. The big earnings are created over years of hard work. Don’t expect to achieve this with only a small amount of input.

6 What Are The Best Things About Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing offers an incredible amount of flexibility and freedom. You can work an affiliate business from anywhere in the world providing you have a laptop and an internet connection. You can choose your own hours and build it up around existing work. Many people come into affiliate marketing because it offers this kind of flexibility. They can choose their priorities in life: spend more time with family, choose your working hours, travel and work abroad. No more commuting to work or working long hours for a boss you don’t like.

Affiliate marketing also offers incredible scalability. A business which is local is always limited to the people who can travel to that business. An online business can be global. Using digital products in conjunction with a global reach, you can scale using tools and software to reach thousands of people through digital technology. By using automation much of the work involved with an online business can be pre-built. By building automation into the business model, you can focus your activities on reaching a larger audience through content creation and paid advertising.

7 Why Am I Struggling With My Affiliate Business?

A lot of people struggle with their affiliate businesses.This can be for a number of reasons. Firstly building up an affiliate business takes time. You need to dedicate a lot of time to an affiliate business in the first place. Only when you reach a ‘tipping point’ do you really start to see your progress. Many affiliates simply don’t realise how much work is involved. They underestimate how much time they need to dedicate to their online business to make it work. Paid advertising can allow you to grow your affiliate business quickly. But it costs money and you need the right products too. You can’t advertise small value items with paid advertising. You won’t generate enough profit to cover your advertising costs. You need a range of products and an email list to advertise through. Content marketing takes much longer to work, depending on your chosen area of business. If you find an untapped niche to market your blog in, you can make some fast progress. However, with a competitive niche you will struggle to get noticed above all the other content which you will have to compete with. There’s several reasons why you might struggle. The main one is lack of knowledge. Get the right education first and your affiliate business will move much faster.

8 What’s The Best Affiliate Model To Use?

There are many different affiliate models, all offering something different to suit the individual. Some affiliates target search traffic and aim to get their content found on Google. Some create their own products and sell them directly to customers. However, having a range of products which you can sell over and over to existing customers is a great model for long term success. Selling a single item online is limited. It means you can only make one commission from each sale. By choosing membership products to promote which also offer back end sales and a built in sales team, you can benefit from monthly commissions and up-sell commissions for the lifetime of any given customer. Selling membership products is definitely a game changer when it come to affiliate marketing because you make an income from each customer, rather than a single commission. But a good model to choose is one in which you have a passion for and can keep doing for the long term. Choosing products which you have no interest in is a short sighted plan. Think about what you would like to do online to generate an income. If you choose to go with your passion, your business will last much longer, and be more successful.

9 Can I Just Sell My Own Products?

Many affiliates create their own products to sell online. However, when you are starting out it is a good idea to learn the basics of marketing first. That way you can start earning more quickly from your affiliate business. I spent a long time creating my own products when I first discovered affiliate marketing. But I didn’t sell anything because of a couple of reasons. Firstly I didn’t research whether my products would have a big enough demand. Secondly I didn’t know how to market them. By joining a program which teaches you how to market products first, you can start making money more quickly. Don’t waste time creating products if you don’t know how to sell them. Marketing is a much more important skill for making money online. Once you know this skill, you can then apply it later when marketing your own products and services. Also your own products will be limited in range. By using an existing product range, you can benefit from products which are already selling. You can choose a program which offers high ticket commission, monthly memberships, back end sales and a built in sales team. Building your own products which offers all of these things not a possibility for most people when starting out.

10 What’s The Point Of Affiliate Marketing?

Some people struggle with the concept of affiliate marketing.They think it sounds too ‘salesy’. When I understood affiliate marketing I immediately found it appealing simply because I needed a flexible way to work around my contract work. I had to drop what I was doing at a moments notice if the phone went. This meant other jobs were awkward to juggle around. No-one wants to employ a ‘flaky’ employee. I wanted to work from my laptop and affiliate marketing gave me that opportunity. For many people this is the reason why they choose affiliate marketing. They can earn an income from their laptop, choose their working hours and not have a boss or place of employment. You don’t have to sell directly to anyone or even talk to a customer. There is no stock to hold. Added to this, the scalability of affiliate marketing which lets you scale up to a global audience and deliver products on autopilot, makes it the best flexible business of the future.

Cámara de Diputados aprueba proyecto de resolución que busca autorizar la matanza de perros asilvestrados, Chile

En la sesión del pasado martes 5 de marzo, la Cámara de Diputados aprobó con 98 votos a favor, 34 en contra y 19 abstenciones, un proyecto de resolución que solicita al presidente Sebastián Piñera dar urgencia al proyecto de ley que busca eximir de responsabilidad a quienes ejecuten la conducta enmarcada en el delito de maltrato animal tipificado en el artículo 291 bis del código penal, específicamente a “quienes deban matar a uno o más perros salvajes actuando en protección de ganado, el cual sean dueños o responsables”. Además de otorgar facultades al Servicio Agrícola y Ganadero para hacerse cargo de los perros “baguales”.

Este proyecto de ley al que se insta la urgencia fue presentado el año 2014, y señala que busca hacerse cargo de aquello que no considera La Ley de Tenencia Responsable, y es establecer el concepto de perros “asilvestrados” o “perros baguales”, abriendo la posibilidad de que sean cazados, asesinados, y maltratados sin impunidad en las zonas rurales de nuestro país.

Aprobar esta modificación al delito de maltrato animal es contrario al trabajo en la promoción y educación de la ley de tenencia responsable, y el avance obtenido estos años por los derechos animales, sobretodo cuando la existencia de estos perros “asilvestrados”, es en gran medida, es debido al abandono y no esterilización de los animales.

Hacemos un llamado a la población a contactarse con aquellos diputados que votaron a favor o se abstuvieron, y hacerles saber su oposición al proyecto, y así buscar impedir que sea aprobado el proyecto de ley en una próxima votación.

A continuación, el detalle de la votación de cada Diputado:

Desde Barranquilla

Levantamiento de pesas sumó cuatro preseas doradas

(Prensa Comité Olímpico Venezolano. Barranquilla, 22 de Julio).- Cuatro medallas de oro llovieron este sábado en la segunda jornada del levantamiento de pesas, con tres récords de competencia de Julio Mayora en los 69 kgs y un épico regreso de Génesis Rodríguez en los 53, luego de los años más oscuros de su carrera.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

“Me vieron llorando pero yo me prometí que me verían feliz”, resumió Rodríguez, la primera medallista de Venezuela en los Juegos Olímpicos de la Juventud, con su bronce en Singapur 2010.

Luego de dos años suspendida por un dopaje que ella siempre atribuyó a la manipulación maliciosa de un suplemento nutricional, Rodríguez regresó en grande, directo para disputar los Juegos CAC, sin ninguna competencia previa que advirtiera sobre su gran forma.

Apareció cuando ya nadie podía hacerle sombra en el arranque, y levantó 90 kgs, para quedarse con el primer oro. Luego fallaría en sus visitas a la plataforma con la pesa cargada con 95 y 97, sin incidencia en los resultados.

En el envión se repitió la misma situación. Génesis salió cuando ya nadie podía poner en peligro su oro, que ella aseguró con un registro de 105 kilos y refrendó con otro de 110, antes de fallar en 114.

“Estaba nerviosa, con ansiedad, pero la verdad es que todo lo que me pasó en estos años me ha hecho más fuerte”, comentó Rodríguez, quien se perdió unos Juegos Olímpicos en Río para los que era la usuaria indiscutible del cupo país de Venezuela, y durante su suspensión aprovechó para adelantar sus estudios universitarios de fisioterapia.

En este tiempo, fueron muchas las pérdidas de Génesis, de 24 años, como la muerte de su padre y más recientemente de su hermano, hace escasos dos meses. Su madre, también fallecida, formó parte igualmente de unas dedicatorias en las que no estuvieron ausentes sus entrenadores Carlos Pinto y Roberto Hernández.

A segunda hora, el ex medallista mundial juvenil Julio Mayora fue aún más dominante en los 69 kgs, sustituyendo por un nuevo nombre criollo los hitos de su división en los 69 kgs de los Juegos CAC. En el arranque, levantó 138 y los récords de competencia de 145 y 151 kgs, con lo que superaba la plusmarca de otro venezolano, Junior Sánchez. En el envión, derribaría un récord aún más viejo, el de Amílcar Pernía, vigente desde San Salvador 2002, con su marca ganadora de 176.

Por condiciones de competencia, en Barranquilla 2018 se entregan medallas independientes al arranque y el envión, y se obvia el total.

Edgar Contreras y Adriana Martínez aportaron medallas

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Edgar Contreras (-68kg) y Adriana Martínez (-57kg) sumaron una medalla de bronce y una de plata para Venezuela en la segunda jornada del taekwondo de los Juegos Centroamericanos y del Caribe Barranquilla 2018.

Contreras, diploma olímpico en Río 2016, inició su peregrinaje en cancha desde semifinales toda vez su primer contendor, el campeón Suramericano Miguel Trejos (COL) no dio el peso.

Instalado en semifinales, el criollo se enfrentó al medallista olímpico junior, el mexicano Rubén Nava, disputando uno de los combates más aguerridos del evento, el cual se decidió en Round de Oro a favor del azteca, quien a la postre se proclamó campeón del torneo tras imponer su experiencia frente al guatemalteco Andrés Zelaya.

“Es la segunda vez que peleó con Rubén (Nava) y creo que me sentí mucho mejor: marqué giros, doble pateos y me sentí más suelto. Creo que el factor psicológico es algo fundamental en ésta etapa de mi carrera porque ya no hay tiempo para perderlo. Debemos responder con resultados y ante las dificultades aquí estamos, hoy con bronce y dando la cara”, asumió Edgar tras la jornada que significó su primera medalla Centroamericana en dos participaciones en éstas justas.

Adriana Martínez no pudo revalidar su título de los – 57kg en Centroamérica alcanzado en Veracruz hace cuatro años, tras caer ante la mexicana Paulina Armería 4-24, pero se sacó par de espinas con victorias sobre dos de sus más peligrosas rivales del área panamericana: la cubana Yamicel Núñez (Round de Oro) y la colombiana Katherine Toro (6-5), última quien la dejó sin posibilidades de podio en los Bolivarianos de Santa Marta el año pasado.

“En la competencia me sentí bien, sentía que estaba fuerte y me saqué la espina con Cuba y Colombia. Las tenía en mente a ambas”,recalcó Martínez. Y agregó: “Obviamente quería estar arriba en el podio, y es duro no haber ganado, pero somos el taekwondo de Venezuela y seguimos luchando contra todo pronóstico y con mucha humildad”.

En poomsae, el aragüeño Alvy Piña se ubicó en la séptima casilla de la modalidad individual masculina.

El tercer día de acciones en el Coliseo del Colegio Marymount de Barranquilla tendrá a Alexmar Sulbarán (-62kg), Carolina Fernández (-73kg) y Yorfren Benavides (-74kg) batallando por un lugar en el difícil podio centroamericano.

Yaruby y Jhoan rindieron en la pista

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Venezuela celebró dos veces en la primera jornada del patinaje de los Juegos Centroamericanos y de Caribe, gracias a la plata de Jhoan Sebastián Guzmán “Chevy”, y el bronce de Yaruby Bandres, ambos en los 300 m contrarreloj.

El resultado no dejó satisfecho a Guzmán, que se saltó el Mundial de Holanda a cambio de sumar para la causa criolla en Barranquilla. “¿Qué contento voy a estar? No estoy conforme”, confesó Chevy, que con su crono de 24.372 estuvo a 26 milésimas del ganador del oro, el mexicano Jorge Martínez, campeón defensor.

Colombia no presentó a su equipo A, comprometido en el torneo del orbe de su disciplina, y Guzmán logró prevalecer ante Edwin Estrada, que aparecía como número uno local.

“Trabajé como un loco en Cúcuta, donde estoy viviendo, entrenando en un espacio que me dan en la pista, venía por más, pero ahora es que queda torneo”.

Para Yaruby Bandres, el desenlace, en cambio, era mucho más de lo que esperaba, luego de tres años retirada por problemas con la anterior federación, y apenas seis meses entrenando de nuevo. La joven de apenas 22 años, ex campeona mundial juvenil, fue contactada por la dirigencia actual, encabezada por William Rojas.

“Me convencieron y para mí fue como empezar de cero”, confiesa. Sin embargo, ahora se atreve a soñar con revalidar su título de 500 m batería en Veracruz 2014.

Su medalla de bronce, lograda con un tiempo de 27.3¿. detrás de la guatemalteca Dalia Soberanis y la colombiana Kerstinck Samiento, tiene una dedicatoria muy especial: a 50 niños a los que Yaruby enseñó a patinaje en Loja, Ecuador.

“Después de mi retiro me fui a Ecuador, preparada mentalmente para hacer cualquier cosa. Llegué a hacer trabajos hasta por un dólar al día, hasta que me dije ‘tienes que hacer lo que es tu pasión’, y monté un club de patinaje. Comencé cerrando calles con unos conos y hoy ya el club está registrado en el Ministerio del Deporte. Tengo 50 niños y esta medalla también es para ellos”.

Tanto Bandres como Guzmán remataron la jornada con la clasificación a la final de los 1000 m, que se disputaba en la tarde.

Venezuela cedió en su debut ante Puerto Rico

Venezuela tuvo un debut amargo en el béisbol masculino al caer derrotados 5-3 contra Puerto Rico en un encuentro que se definió en el último tercio del compromiso que se jugó en el estadio Édgar Rentería.

El lanzador abridor por el equipo nacional, Wilfredo Ledezma, tuvo una gran actuación brillante, al trabajar por espacio de cinco innings en los que solamente permitió un hit, manteniendo a raya a la ofensiva rival. Sin embargo, tras ser relevado en la sexta entrada, los bates de Puerto Rico respondieron, fabricando la primera carrera del cotejo cotejo con un sencillo al jardín central. Posteriormente, un episodio más tarde, los boricuas sumaron tres anotaciones más, gracias a un doble que barrió las bases, colocando la pizarra 4-0, ventaja que ampliarían después con otro imparable.

Aún así, Venezuela descontó en la octava, luego de un doble play con las bases llenas que permitió romper la blanqueada. Y aunque la selección nacional añadió par de rayitas más en la parte alta de na novena, no les fue suficiente para completar la remontada.

–

Gimnasia se quedó en la quinta casilla

Desde el Centro de Eventos Puerta de Oro, la Gimnasia Artística de Venezuela cerró en la quinta posición en equipo por aparatos.

Las criollas Pamela Arrioja, Katriel de Sousa y Debora Salmina sumaron 136.350. Cuba dominó con 150.100. Las colombianas se colgaron la de plata con 149.950 y México cerró el podio con149.900.

Ante lluvias: - Evita arrojar objetos en la calle y sacar la basura. - No arriesgues tu vida al intentar cruzar corrientes de agua. - Evita tocar postes, cajas de luz o cables. - Evita transitar por calles inundadas. - Circula despacio, con luces encendidas, intermitentes y cinturón de seguridad.

easy ways to make money online with income replacement academy

youtu.be/G1fAPgDGglM www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLM6H7kTHehk4mF3dnSMQxwrlNa… 40 easy ways to make money quickly Owen Burek by Owen Burek in Make Money Updated 3 April 2020 Share Tweet Money bagOn this page you’ll find all the best ways to make money in your spare time whilst at university based on our own experience. We’ll keep adding new ways to this page so go ahead and bookmark it. And please do share your own ideas in the comments!

Top ways to make money online and offline No-risk matched betting free bets from matched betting

Hands down the quickest way to make a lot of money (well, without breaking the law). Lots of students have genuinely made £100s from this technique. It’s completely legal, risk free, tax free, and anyone over 18 in the UK can do it (Not in UK? Skip to no. 2).

It works by taking advantage of free bets regularly offered by betting sites through ‘matching’ them at a betting exchange. Matched betting eliminates the risk (you are betting both for and against a certain outcome).

This leaves you being able to squeeze out the free bet, which can be as much as £100. Multiply this by how many betting sites there are and you can quite easily come away with a profit of a few hundred pounds.

Owen walks you through how to make your first £13 profit (using a real life example) in this gem of a guide to matched betting. If you know of any better way to make £40/hr sitting at home, please let us know!

Online surveys paid surveys

An increasingly popular way for students to make money is to fill out online surveys in their spare time. Research companies are always recruiting new members worldwide to answer surveys and test new products.

For a few minutes of form filling, you can make a couple of quid which is paid as cash or rewards. You can bag up to £3 ($5) for some surveys!

A few good ones to try are: Toluna, LifePoints, Branded Surveys, InboxPounds, Onepoll, i-Say, Opinion Outpost, YouGov, Pinecone, SurveyBods, Hiving, Panel Base, Prolific, Valued Opinions, Panel Opinion, The Opinion Panel, Survey Junkie.

Also sign up for Swagbucks which rewards you for surveys as well as simply surfing the web, watching videos and playing games.

Update: See our new full guide to the best paid online surveys!

Paid for searching the web Interested in earning cash for doing what you already do online? This has to be one of the easiest methods of making money online without really any effort or change in your behaviour.

This innovative idea by Qmee.com rewards you for searching in Google, Bing, Yahoo, Amazon and eBay. You just install a simple add-on to your browser and when you conduct a search there may be a few sponsored results alongside your normal search.

qmee paid search

Each Qmee result has a cash reward attached – if you are interested in it simply click on it and collect your reward.

The best thing is there is no minimum to cashout – our first one was just 72p wired to our Paypal account. You also have the option to donate it to charity.

Online market trading Whilst this isn’t necessarily an easy way to make money, investing in stock markets can be lucrative if you learn to do it properly and safely. By the same token, you may suffer significant losses if you don’t take it seriously.

Today there is no need to fund the yachts of Wolf of Wall Street style stock brokers. You can do it all yourself with the help of online market trading platforms.

Having spent many hours researching this new opportunity, I’ve been experimenting with the popular platform eToro.com.

eToro has over 12 millions users worldwide and offers free practice accounts. It has been featured in the BBC 2 documentary “Traders: Millions by the Minute” and sponsors several Premier League football clubs.

etoro trading

One of the best things on eToro is the CopyTrader feature. This lets you literally see, follow and copy the investments of other top performing traders.

Follow George’s complete guide to trading on eToro to learn more. I think $200 is a good amount to get the most out of the learning curve by trying out a few different markets. If nothing else you’ll learn a great deal about various investments and industries.

Please be aware that all trading involves risk. eToro is a multi-asset platform which offers real asset ownership and high risk leveraged ‘CFD’ products. 75% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. This content is not financial or investment advice.

Start your own website owen burek

Interested in generating passive income? You need a website. It’s THE way to make money while you sleep.

Starting a website with Bluehost takes less than 20 minutes, costs hardly anything and can be done by an 82 year-old. It only takes a bit of plugging on social media to get your first visitors, and there are plenty of ways to monetise your site.

Save the Student is just one example of a successful website, started at university by Owen Burek in his first year, which has since grown into a full-time and sizable enterprise.

Read Owen’s step-by-step guide on how to start a website in 20 minutes. It’s really one of the best assets you can have.

Review websites & apps for cash usertesting.com

Well it seems like you’re pretty nifty with a web browser, so perhaps it’s time to turn pro and browse websites as a paid and fun job!

Introducing UserTesting.com – a new platform that pays everyday people to review all kinds of websites. Each review takes around 20 minutes and bags you $10 (£6.50) via Paypal.

Simply sign up here, complete a test review and look forward to receiving websites in your inbox.

The ‘Disney Vault’ secret disney vault Credit: Walt Disney Pictures Inc.

To keep demand high across generations, Disney Studios carefully restrict the supply of some home release classics. They are locked away in the ‘vault’ for 8-10 years before being released for a short unspecified time.

Buy them in this window at normal retail price and you can turn a nice profit when they go off sale for another decade or so.

For example, in 2011 you could buy Beauty and the Beast on Blu-ray 3D for just £24.99. In just a couple of years it was on Amazon for a staggering £74.99!

Disney vault

Importantly, not all Disney releases are subject to the vault and only the true classics will maintain such demand.

Right now there are just 2 titles out of the vault which I would recommend snapping up. They are Bambi Diamond Edition Blu-ray and The Lion King Diamond Edition Blu-ray.

‘Get Paid To’ sites coins

Similar to making money from online surveys, GPT sites reward you in cash and vouchers for completing various offers or activities online.

The most popular sites today are Toluna, Swagbucks and InboxPounds.

New! Join our ‘make money’ mailing list for the best opportunities every month. First name Email address

Become a delivery rider or driver Make money as a delivery driver

Got a bicycle, motorbike or car? What about a Smartphone? That’s all you need to make some extra money by delivering food or people whenever you’ve got some spare time.

Sign up to delivery specialist companies like Deliveroo who are always on the hunt for new riders. They allow you total flexibility to work when you want, delivering food from restaurants to the customers’ door. You can make up to £16 an hour.

Double-up your opportunities by directly contacting local takeaways and bigger chains like Dominos to see if they have any delivery jobs going.

Write and publish a Kindle eBook If students are good at anything, it’s researching and writing. With the Amazon Kindle store, anyone can publish an eBook and make money.

And the Kindle app is now available on almost any device (laptops, iPads, smartphones and yes, Kindles) so your global market is huge!

List your book for £1.49 – £6.99 and you earn 70% of the sale. Considering Amazon is the ultimate selling machine (and remember people are looking to spend), that is a fantastic deal.

kindle ebooks

The key to success with eBooks is to create value, and write non-fiction. Simply bundling information you have researched and compiled on a common problem (eg. ‘secrets’ to finding a job) and then presenting it in an easy to digest format (an eBook) justifies someone spending a few quid on it.

Another big tip is to have a great cover designed (browse these) so it stands out, and once your book is live on the Kindle store it’s really important to get some reviews so it shows up higher in results. Encourage readers to leave an honest review at the end of your book.

The best thing about this lucrative idea is that once you’ve invested the time (say 20 hours), you’ll earn a passive income for years to come! For a step-by-step guide to publishing and earning with eBooks, see “How to write a nonfiction eBook in 21 days”.

Affiliate marketing awin affiliateIf you’ve got a good presence on social media or perhaps you even have a blog or website, you can start bringing in money immediately by promoting all sorts of companies, products, services and offers online.

Sign up as a publisher on the Awin network, check their offers blog or browse the merchant listings to find something you think your friends would be interested in, grab your affiliate link and share it. If someone buys (can be within up to 90 days) using your link you’ll make a nice commission.

To take it a step further, set up a website (read our guide) or a topical Facebook page and invite all your friends to join it and post your affiliate offers on there.

Mobile phone recycling mobile recycle

You can earn good money and help the environment by recycling your old mobile phones and other unused devices. Maybe ask your parents if they have any lying around too.

Head to our page on making money from old phones for the best companies to use and how to ensure you get all the cash quoted to you online.

Become a ‘Clickworker’ The Clickworker.com concept is based on ‘internet crowd-sourcing’ where businesses advertise specific, scalable tasks they need completing quickly. And for us, it’s an easy way to make fast cash from our couch.

clickworker

There are a variety of tasks, but most commonly they involve mindless data entry, web research or form filling. You are rewarded and paid in cash (via Paypal) for the work you do, and you can choose for what and when you work. Give it a go. [If you’re US based, also try Amazon’s ‘Mechanical Turk’].

Claim tax back Many students work part-time or during the summer months, and others will be on placements or paid internships. More often than not, if you are a student working during the year, you will be overpaying income tax.

Why? Simply because few students reach the personal tax-free income allowance each year but are put on an emergency basic tax-code by their employers meaning tax is being paid when it shouldn’t be.

Click to use the Tax refund calculator

To learn more and calculate how much tax back you might be due, see our guide on student tax refunds.

Get cashback when shopping Our Quidco Cashback I earned this much in 2 years

This is not only a way to make money but also to save money as a student. If you look at it in a different way then you are making money with every purchase you would have made anyway, whether it be 10% or 0.5% cashback.

There are a number of cashback sites out there which pay you the commission they otherwise would have earned.

We recommend signing up with Top Cashback, Quidco.com and Swagbucks which are free and offer the best selection of retailers and exclusives.

Part-time job bar jobs

A part-time job is the obvious first choice, opted for by most students looking to supplement their student loan. It provides a pretty steady flow of income and can enable you to gain valuable work experience.

But good jobs are not always easy to find!

Start with our student job search, then check local classifieds and your university careers service for vacancies.

It’s also worth signing up with CV Library, a free service which will match your CV with suitable part-time jobs and career opportunities.

Read our guide to finding a part-time job whilst studying for more tips.

Gigs on Fiverr Fiverr pranks

Fiverr is now the world’s largest marketplace for people to make money selling small services (known as ‘gigs’).

What you offer could be absolutely anything, from writing and translating, social media posting, playing pranks and teaching to creating music, voiceovers and short video clips for people all around the world!

The default price is $5 (hence Fiverr..), but you can attach extra services to gigs for more money. Whilst it might not seem like much, it can quickly add up and there are plenty of examples of people making a really good living from the site. The key is to get a system in place which minimises the time spent on each gig.

But there is another way to profit even more from Fiverr for potentially far less work. How? By simply reselling gigs elsewhere. For example, find a decent logo designer then reply to jobs on Upwork or even local classifieds. A $5 spend can easily become $50+, and it’s repeatable!

If you’re not interested in selling at all there’s SO much good stuff you can get done for yourself. Have a browse and get inspired!

Review music for money If you love music, make it your business by reviewing unsigned bands and artists online for cash with Slicethepie.

It can take a while to build up your reputation but some users of the site have said that they earn £40 a month. This may not sound like much, but if it’s something you enjoy then it shouldn’t be hard work and is another thing for your CV. Money you earn will be in $US but anyone can sign up and review.

slicethepie

To get started, head over to Slicethepie now or read our quick guide for more info.

Sell your notes If you don’t mind sharing your notes with other students it’s a great way to generate a little extra cash. There are sites out there that you can upload your notes to, along with your price, and then when another student downloads them you get paid.

Most of these sites like Nexus Notes and Stuvia are free for you to list your notes but tend to take a cut of your profit in order to handle the marketing etc so that you don’t have to go out there and promote your notes yourself.

You will most likely have to upload PDFs but it’s worth it for the return and you can submit handwritten notes but you’re likely to make more money if they’re typed up.

Sell second-hand course books One great way to make money is to buy other students’ textbooks at the end of the year, and then sell them just after freshers’ week – when the new intake of students know that they need them!

You can either advertise on campus or list them online very easily on Amazon Marketplace (just bear in mind they take a commission on books sold).

Here are 28 other things you can sell right now!

Competitions Entering competitions of course comes with no guarantees, but there is a growing community of so-called ‘compers’ in the UK consistently making up to £50,000 a year through all sorts of competitions.

Types of competitions available to enter vary from simple registration forms and Facebook page liking to answering questions correctly over the phone to being a TV game show contestant. Imagine you made it onto Deal or No Deal instead of just watching it!

Start by entering our very own monthly student competition (Follow our Instagram page to see when our next one is)!

competitions

Then head to our active competitions page to enter other free competitions that we have found. Just note that some of these sites may send you spam so use an alias email address and opt-out of as many of the offers as possible.

For loads more tips on achieving success and making money from competitions, read our guide to entering competitions.

Buy and sell domain names domain-for-sale

A domain name is just a website address (eg. ‘savethestudent.org’ or ‘mysite.co.uk’) and there are lots of extensions (.com, .net, .co.uk etc).

They cost as little as $0.99 to register with GoDaddy.com yet premium domain names can fetch $1,000s if not millions when sold on. In 2007 VacationRentals.com went for a cool $35m!

Now you’re probably not going to come across anything like that, but you can still turn a quick profit with a bit of searching. The trick is to find available domain names which have some commercial value, snap them up and then list them for sale on a site like Sedo.com.

Mystery shopping be a mystery shopperToday becoming a mystery shopper is easier than you think and you can get rewarded handsomely.

There are dozens of agencies that pay you to visit all sorts of shops and restaurants to feedback on how they are performing. We’ve reviewed the best agencies in our guide how to become a mystery shopper.

Tasking apps are another form of mystery shopping, where you earn rewards for completing small local tasks. It can be a lot of fun too!

Be an Extra Do you fancy yourself as a budding young actor or just that person that walks past in the background shot of an episode of Eastenders? It could be you if you apply to be an extra in TV or film.

The pay isn’t bad either: £60-80 a day on average, and you hardly have to do anything!

There are lots of casting agencies that place willing extras. They make their money by taking a cut from your earnings, so always ask what that is before you take on work.

Head over to our how to become an extra guide for 5 of the better agencies, plus lots more advice on getting your first gig.

Sell all your old CDs, games and movies If you are looking to make a very quick buck, then selling your old bits and bobs that are cluttering up your room is a good idea.

The best thing about it is that you can rip all the songs and films onto your laptop or external hard drive before selling them. This means that you are only really selling the plastic and artwork!

You can earn anything from 10p to £20 per item, and the earnings can really add up if you have a large collection. Whilst you’re at it, see if your parents have any ‘clutter’ they’d be happy to see the back of.

You can also sell almost anything for free on Amazon Marketplace or Preloved and sites like MusicMagpie will pay you instantly for sending in unwanted items.

For more tips and places to sell check out our guide on selling DVDs, CDs and games.

Sell on your education! graduate_studentBecoming a tutor to other students is easier than ever. Until recently your market was limited to local face-to-face sessions, but thanks to online tutoring sites you can go global!

Udemy allows anyone to create an online course (on literally anything!) and get paid forever after as users take it up.

For one-to-one tutoring, list yourself on Superprof and UK Tutors.

You can expect to earn upwards of £10 an hour, and you don’t have to be highly qualified to tutor younger GCSE or even A Level students. Get started with our guide to making money as a private tutor.

Sell your photos If you think you’ve got a good shot and a little creativity, try uploading your photographs for free to stock websites. A good starting point is Adobe Stock or Getty Images.

Make more money selling photo subjects that have fewer search results but you feel would have some demand. It might be a good idea to test them out in print first yourself (get free photo prints here).

Rent out your car parking space car parking spaceSome student accommodation comes with a drive or garage. If you aren’t using your parking space and you live in a busy area then you might be in luck. There are plenty of people that may work in the city centre and are fed up of paying through the roof for daily parking.

Advertise your space on Gumtree, Parklet or Just Park.

Or, check out our full guide to renting out your parking space.

Babysitting It’s a classic money-maker, and for good reason. You get paid (well) to watch TV and not very much else – hopefully!

If you are wondering what to charge have a look at local ads, but you can expect to be paid over £9ph even if you aren’t trained in childcare.

Aside from advertising yourself, it’s free to create a profile on Care Babysitting. It really can be easy money (unless you get stuck with the child from hell!).

Our guide to babysitting walks you through the main considerations. For instance, in the UK you will need a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check to look after small children, even though some parents may not ask for one.

Dog walking & sitting If babies ain’t your thing, then maybe canines are… dog sitting is big business. Students especially are likely to have free time during the day when others are out at work and worried about their pets at home.

You could bag around £8 an hour per dog, and it’s also a great way to keep fit.

Join Care Pet Care who are best for dog sitting and also Tailster who specialise in dog walkers.

Become your own bank be your own bank

‘Peer-to-peer’ lending is the future of banking. It cuts out the middle-man, passing on higher interest rates to you and cheaper loans to borrowers. And it’s all managed online from the comfort of your sofa.

Founded in 2010, RateSetter was the first to reimburse lenders on late payments or defaults through its ‘Provision Fund’. Effectively it is designed to be like a normal savings account. To date RateSetter say no investors have ever lost money, and they are fully FCA regulated.

Right now you can expect to achieve up to 4% fixed return, depending on how long you choose to lend for. If you can, go for the ISA account to earn interest tax-free.

Update: for a limited time also get this £20 bonus when you deposit just £10.

The Amazon Kindle is a series of e-readers designed and marketed by Amazon. Amazon Kindle devices enable users to browse, buy, download, and read e-books, newspapers, magazines and other digital media via wireless networking to the Kindle Store.[5] The hardware platform, which Amazon subsidiary Lab126 developed, began as a single device in 2007 and now comprises a range of devices, including e-readers with E Ink electronic paper displays and Kindle applications on all major computing platforms. All Kindle devices integrate with Kindle Store content and, as of March 2018, the store had over six million e-books available in the United States.[6]

Amazon originally used the codename Fiona for the device.[7]

Branding consultants Michael Cronan and Karin Hibma devised the Kindle name. Lab126 asked them to name the product, and they suggested “kindle”, meaning to light a fire.[8] They felt this was an apt metaphor for reading and intellectual excitement.[9]

Kindle hardware has evolved from the original Kindle introduced in 2007 and the Kindle DX (with its larger screen) introduced in 2009. The range includes devices with a keyboard (Kindle Keyboard), devices with touch-sensitive, lighted high-resolution screens (Kindle Paperwhite), a tablet computer with the Kindle app (Kindle Fire), and low-priced devices with a touch-sensitive screen (Kindle 7). However, the Kindle e-reader has always been a single-purpose device for reading rather than being multipurpose hardware that might create distractions while reading.

Amazon has also introduced Kindle apps for use on various devices and platforms, including Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, BlackBerry 10 and Windows Phone.[10] Amazon also has a cloud reader to allow users to read e-books using modern web browsers.[11]

Devices First generation Kindle Amazon Kindle – Wikipedia.jpg Amazon released the Kindle, its first e-reader on November 19, 2007 for $399.[12] It sold out in 5 1/2 hours.[13] The device remained out of stock for five months until late April 2008.[14]

The device featured a six-inch (diagonal) four-level grayscale E Ink display, with 250 MB of internal storage, which can hold approximately 200 non-illustrated titles.[15] It also has a speaker and a headphone jack for listening to audio files.[12] It is the only Kindle with expandable storage, via an SD card slot. Content was available from Amazon via the Sprint Corporation US-wide EVDO 3G data network, via a dedicated connection protocol which Amazon called Whispernet.[15] Amazon did not sell the first-generation Kindle outside of the US.[15]

Second generation Kindle 2 Amazon-kindle-gen2.jpg On February 10, 2009, Amazon announced the Kindle 2, the second-generation Kindle.[16] It became available for purchase on February 23, 2009. The Kindle 2 features a text-to-speech option to read the text aloud, and 2 GB of internal memory of which 1.4 GB is user-accessible. By Amazon’s estimates, the Kindle 2 can hold about 1,500 non-illustrated books. Unlike the first-generation Kindle, Kindle 2 does not have a slot for SD memory cards.[17] It is slimmer than the original Kindle.[18][19][20] The Kindle 2 features a Freescale 532 MHz, ARM-11 90 nm processor, 32 MB main memory, 2 GB flash memory and a 3.7 V 1,530 mAh lithium polymer battery.[21]

To promote the Kindle 2, in February 2009 author Stephen King released Ur, his then-new novella, made available exclusively through the Kindle Store.[22]

Kindle 2 international On October 7, 2009, Amazon announced an international version of the Kindle 2 with the ability to download e-books wirelessly in over 100 countries. It became available October 19, 2009. The international Kindle 2 is physically the same as the U.S.-only Kindle 2, although it uses a different mobile network standard.

The original Kindle 2 used CDMA2000 for use on the Sprint network. The international version used standard GSM and 3G GSM, enabling it to be used on AT&T’s U.S. mobile network and internationally in 100 other countries.[23]

Kindle DX

A Kindle DX underneath a Kindle 2

Amazon launched the Kindle DX on May 6, 2009. This device has a larger screen than the standard Kindle, and supports PDF files. It is marketed as more suitable for displaying newspaper and textbook content,[24] includes built-in speakers, and has an accelerometer that enables users to seamlessly rotate pages between landscape and portrait orientations when the Kindle DX is turned on its side.[25] The device can only connect to Whispernet in the U.S.[26]

Kindle DX international On January 19, 2010, the Kindle DX international version was released in over 100 countries.[27] The Kindle DX international version is the same as the Kindle DX, except for having support for international 3G data.

Kindle DX Graphite

Kindle DX Graphite On July 1, 2010, Amazon released the Kindle DX Graphite (DXG) globally. The DXG has an E Ink display with 50% better contrast ratio due to using E Ink Pearl technology and comes only in a graphite case color. It is speculated the case color change is to improve contrast ratio perception further, as some users found the prior white casing highlighted that the E Ink background is light gray and not white. Like the Kindle DX, it does not have a Wi-Fi connection.[28] The DXG is a mix of third-generation hardware and second-generation software. The CPU has the same speed as Kindle Keyboard’s CPU, but the DXG has only half the system memory, 128MB. Due to these differences, the DXG runs the same firmware as Kindle 2. Therefore, DXG cannot display international fonts, like Cyrillic, Chinese, or any other non-Latin font, and PDF support and the web browser are limited to matching the Kindle 2’s features.

Amazon withdrew the Kindle DX from sale in October 2012, but in September 2013 made it available again for a few months. Using 3G data is free when accessing the Kindle Store and Wikipedia. Downloading personal documents via 3G data costs about $1 per megabyte. Its battery life is about one week with 3G on and two weeks with 3G off. Text-to-Speech and MP3 playback are supported.

Third generation Kindle Keyboard

Kindle Keyboard Amazon announced the third-generation Kindle, later renamed “Kindle Keyboard”, on July 28, 2010.[29] Amazon began accepting pre-orders for the Kindle Keyboard as soon as it was announced and began shipping the devices on August 27, 2010. On August 25, Amazon announced that the Kindle Keyboard was the fastest-selling Kindle ever.[30] While Amazon does not officially add numbers to the end of each Kindle denoting its generation, reviewers, customers and press companies often referred to this Kindle as the “K3” or the “Kindle 3”.[31][32][33] The Kindle Keyboard has a 6-inch screen with a resolution of 600×800 (167 PPI).[34]

The Kindle Keyboard was available in two versions. One of these, the Kindle Wi-Fi, was initially priced at $139 and connects to the Internet via Wi-Fi networks.[29] The other version, called the Kindle 3G, was priced at $189 and includes both 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity.[29] The built-in free 3G connectivity uses the same wireless signals that cell phones use, allowing it to download and purchase content from any location with cell service.[29] The Kindle Keyboard is available in two colors: classic white and graphite. Both versions use an E Ink “Pearl” display, which has a higher contrast than prior displays and a faster refresh rate than prior e-ink displays. However, it remains significantly slower than traditional LCDs.[35] An ad-supported version, the “Kindle with Special Offers”, was introduced on May 3, 2011, with a price $25 lower than the no-ad version, for $114. On July 13, 2011, Amazon announced that due to a sponsorship with AT&T, the price of the Kindle 3G with ads would be $139, $50 less than the Kindle 3G without ads.[36]

The Kindle Keyboard is 0.5 inches shorter and 0.5 inches narrower than the Kindle 2. It supports additional fonts and international Unicode characters and has a Voice Guide feature with spoken menu navigation from the built-in speakers or audio jack. Internal memory is expanded to 4 GB, with approximately 3 GB available for user content. Battery life is advertised at up to two months of reading half an hour a day with the wireless turned off, which amounts to roughly 30 hours.[29]

The Kindle Keyboard generally received good reviews after launch. Review Horizon describes the device as offering “the best reading experience in its class”[37] while Engadget[38] states, “In the standalone category, the Kindle is probably the one to beat”.

Fourth generation The fourth-generation Kindle and the Kindle Touch were announced on September 28, 2011. They retain the 6-inch, 167-PPI e-ink display of the 2010 Kindle model, with the addition of an infrared touch-screen control on the Touch. They also include Amazon’s experimental web-browsing capability with Wi-Fi.[39]

Kindle 4

Kindle 4 The fourth-generation Kindle was significantly less expensive (initially $79 ad supported, $109 no ads) and features a slight reduction in weight and size, with a reduced battery life and storage capacity, compared to the Kindle 3.[39] It has a silver-grey bezel, 6-inch display, nine hard keys, a cursor pad, an on-screen rather than physical keyboard, a flash storage capacity of 2 GB, and an estimated one month battery life under ideal reading conditions.[40][41]

Kindle Touch

Kindle Touch Amazon introduced two versions of touchscreen Kindles: the Kindle Touch, available with Wi-Fi (initially $99 ad-supported, $139 no ads), and the Kindle Touch 3G, with Wi-Fi/3G connectivity (initially $149 ad-supported, $189 no ads).[39] The latter version is capable of connect via 3G to the Kindle Store, download books and periodicals, and access Wikipedia. Experimental web browsing (outside Wikipedia) on Kindle Touch 3G is only available over a Wi-Fi connection.[42] (Kindle Keyboard does not have this restriction). The usage of the 3G data is limited to 50MB per month.[43] Like the Kindle 3, the Kindle Touch has a capacity of 4 GB and battery life of two months under ideal reading conditions, and is larger than the Kindle 4.[44] The Kindle Touch was released on November 15, 2011.[45] Amazon announced in March 2012 that the device would be available in the UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy on April 27, 2012.[46] The Touch was the first Kindle to support X-Ray, which lists the commonly used character names, locations, themes, or ideas in a book.[47] In January 2013, Amazon released the 5.2.0 firmware that updated the operating system to match the Paperwhite’s interface with the Touch’s MP3/audiobook capabilities remaining.

Fifth generation Kindle 5

Kindle 5 Amazon released the Kindle 5 on September 6, 2012 ($70 ad-supported, $90 no ads).[48] The Kindle has a black bezel, differing from the Kindle 4 which was available in silver-grey, and has better display contrast. Amazon also claims that it has 15% faster page loads. It has a 167 PPI display and was the lightest Kindle, at 5.98 ounce, until 2016’s Kindle Oasis.

Kindle Paperwhite (First generation)

Kindle Paperwhite The first-generation Kindle Paperwhite was announced on September 6, 2012, and released on October 1. It has a 6 in, 212 PPI E Ink Pearl display (758×1024 resolution) with four built-in LEDs to illuminate the screen. It was available in Wi-Fi ($120 ad-supported, $140 no ads) and Wi-Fi + 3G ($180 ad-supported, $200 no ads) models,[48] with the ad-supported options only intended to be available in the United States.[49] The light is one of the main features of the Paperwhite and it has a manually adjusted light level. The 3G access restrictions are the same as the Kindle Touch, and usage of the 3G data is limited to 50 MB per month and only on Amazon and Wikipedia’s websites; additional data may be bought.[43] Battery life is advertised as up to eight weeks of reading with half an hour per day with wireless off and constant light use; this usage equals 28 hours.[50] The official leather cover for the Paperwhite uses a hall effect sensor to detect when the cover is closed or opened and turn the screen off or on respectively. This was the first Kindle model to track reading speed to estimate when the reader will finish a chapter or book; this feature was later included with updates to the other models of Kindle and Kindle Fire. The Kindle Paperwhite lacks physical buttons for page turning and does not perform auto-hyphenation. Except for the lock screen/power button at its bottom, it relies solely on the touchscreen interface.[51]

In November 2012, Amazon released the 5.3.0 update that allowed users to turn off recommended content on the home screen in Grid View (allowing two rows of user content) and included general bug fixes. In March 2014, the Paperwhite 5.4.4 update was released that added Goodreads integration, Kindle FreeTime to restrict usage for children, Cloud Collections for organization and Page Flip for scanning content without losing your place, which closely matched the Paperwhite 2’s software features.[52]

The Kindle Paperwhite was released in most major international markets in early 2013, with Japan’s version including 4 GB of storage, and in China on June 7, 2013; all non-Japan versions have 2 GB of storage (1.25 GB usable).[53]

Engadget praised the Paperwhite, giving it 92 of 100. The reviewer liked the front-lit display, high contrast, and useful software features, but did not like that it was less comfortable to hold than the Nook, the starting price includes ads, and it had no expandable storage.[54]

Shortly after release, some users complained about the lighting implementation on the Kindle Paperwhite.[55] While not widespread, some users found the lighting inconsistent, causing the bottom edge to cast irregular shadows. Also, some users complained that the light cannot be turned off completely.[56]

Sixth generation Kindle Paperwhite (second generation)

Kindle Paperwhite 2 Amazon announced the second-generation Kindle Paperwhite, marketed as the “All-New Kindle Paperwhite” and colloquially referred to as the Paperwhite 2, on September 3, 2013; the Wi-Fi version was released in on September 30 ($120 ad-supported, $140 no ads), and the 3G/Wi-Fi version was released in the US on November 5, 2013 ($190 ad-supported, $210 no ads). The Paperwhite 2 features a higher contrast E Ink Carta display technology,[57] improved LED illumination, 25% faster processor (1 GHz) that allows for faster page turns, and better response to touch input compared to the original Paperwhite. It has the same 6″ screen with 212 PPI, bezel and estimated 28-hour battery life as the original Paperwhite. The software features dictionary/Wikipedia/X-Ray look-up, Page Flip that allows the user to skip ahead or back in the text in a pop-up window and go back to the previous page, and Goodreads social integration.[58]

The Paperwhite 2 uses a similar experimental web browser with the same 3G data use restrictions as previous Kindles; there are no use restrictions when using Wi-Fi. The official Amazon leather cover for the Paperwhite 2 is the same item as was used for the original Paperwhite. The cover’s magnets turn the screen on and off when it is opened and closed.

Although released in 2013 with 2GB of storage, by September 2014 all versions of the Paperwhite 2 were sold with 4GB of storage.

Engadget rated the Paperwhite 2 as 93 of 100, saying while it offers few new features, “an improved frontlight and some software tweaks have made an already great reading experience even better.”[59]

Seventh generation Kindle 7 Amazon announced an upgraded basic Kindle and the Kindle Voyage on September 18, 2014.[60] The Kindle 7 was released on October 2, 2014 ($80 ad-supported, $100 no ads). It is the first basic Kindle to use a touchscreen for navigating within books and to have a 1 GHz CPU.[61] It is also the first basic Kindle available in international markets such as India, Japan and China. Amazon claims that a single charge lasts up to 30 days if used for 30 minutes a day without using Wi-Fi.

Kindle Voyage

Kindle Voyage’s rear The Kindle Voyage was released on November 4, 2014, in the US It has a 6-inch, 300 ppi E Ink Carta HD display, which was the highest resolution and contrast available in e-readers, as of 2014,[62] with six LEDs with an adaptive light sensor that can automatically illuminate the screen depending on the environment. It is available in Wi-Fi ($200 ad-supported, $220 no ads) and Wi-Fi + 3G ($270 ad-supported, $290 no ads) models.[63] Its design features a flush glass screen on the front and the rear has angular, raised plastic edges that house the power button, similar to the Fire HDX. The Voyage uses “PagePress”, a navigation system that has sensors on either side of the screen that turns the page when pressed.[64] PagePress may be disabled, but the touchscreen is always active.

The Verge rated the Voyage as 9.1 of 10, stating that “this is the best E Ink e-reader I’ve used, and it’s unquestionably the best that Amazon has ever made. The thing is, it’s only marginally better than the fantastic Paperwhite in several ways, and significantly better in none” and with those differences in mind, disliked how it costs $80 more than the Paperwhite.[65] Engadget rated the Voyage as 94 of 100, stating that while it was “easily the best e-reader that Amazon has ever crafted,” it was also the priciest at $199.[66]

Kindle Paperwhite (third generation)

Kindle Paperwhite 3 The third-generation Kindle Paperwhite, marketed as the “All-New Kindle Paperwhite” and colloquially referred to as the Paperwhite 3 and Paperwhite 2015, was released on June 30, 2015, in the US. It is available in Wi-Fi ($120 ad-supported, $140 no ads) and Wi-Fi + 3G ($190 ad-supported, $210 no ads) models. It has a 6-inch, 1440×1080, 300 ppi E Ink Carta HD display, which is twice the pixels of the original Paperwhite and has the same touchscreen, four LEDs and size as the previous Paperwhite.[67][68] It has over 3 GB of user accessible storage. This device improved on the display of PDF files, with the possibility to select text and use some functionalities, such as translation on a PDF’s text. Amazon claims it has 6 weeks of battery life if used for 30 minutes per day with wireless off and brightness set to 10, which is about 21 hours.

The Paperwhite 3 is the first e-reader to include the Bookerly font, a new font designed by Amazon, and includes updated formatting functions such as hyphenation and improved spacing.[69] The Bookerly font was added to most older models via a firmware update.[70] The official Amazon leather cover for the Paperwhite 3 is the same item as was used with the previous two Paperwhite devices.

In February 2016, the Paperwhite 2, Paperwhite 3, Kindle 7, and Voyage received the 5.7.2 update that included a new home screen layout, an OpenDyslexic font choice, improved book recommendations and a new quick actions menu.[71]

On June 30, 2016, Amazon released a white version of the Paperwhite 3 worldwide; the only thing different about this version is the color of the shell.[72]

In October 2016, Amazon released the Paperwhite 3 “Manga Model” in Japan that has a 33% increase in page-turning speed and includes 32GB of storage, which is space for up to 700 manga books.[73] The Manga model launched at 16,280 yen (~$156) for the ad-supported Wi-Fi version or 12,280 yen (~$118) for Prime members.[74]

The Verge rated the Paperwhite 3 as 9.0 of 10, saying that “The Kindle Paperwhite is the best e-reader for most people by a wide margin” and liked the high-resolution screen but disliked that there was no adaptive backlight; this is featured on the Kindle Voyage.[75] Popzara called the 2015 Paperwhite “the best dedicated E Ink e-reader for the money.”[76]

Eighth generation Kindle Oasis (first generation)

Kindle Oasis being used with one hand

Kindle Oasis Amazon announced the first-generation Kindle Oasis on April 13, 2016, and it was released on April 27 worldwide.[77] The Kindle Oasis is available in Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + 3G models.[78] The Oasis has a 6-inch, 300 ppi E Ink Carta HD display with ten LEDs.[79] Its asymmetrical design features physical page turn buttons on one side and it has an accelerometer so the display can be rotated for one-hand operation with either hand. It has one thicker side that tapers to an edge that is 20% thinner than the Paperwhite. It includes a removable leather battery cover for device protection and increased battery life that is available in either black, walnut (brown) or merlot (red); the cover fits in the tapered edge. The Oasis has 28 hours of battery life if used with the battery cover with Wi-Fi off. However, without the cover, the Oasis battery lasts about seven hours. It has nearly 3 GB of user storage. The Oasis includes the Bookerly (serif) font and it is the first Kindle to include the Amazon Ember (sans-serif) font.[80]

The Guardian’s reviewer praised the Oasis’s ease for holding, its lightweight design, long battery life, excellent display, even front lighting, usable page-turn buttons, and the luxurious cover; however, the reviewer did not like that it was so expensive, that the battery cover only partially protects the back, and that the reader is not waterproof. The reviewer concluded, “…the Paperwhite will likely be all the e-reader most will need, but Oasis is the one you’ll want. The Oasis is the Bentley to the Paperwhite’s Golf – both will get the job done, just one is a cut above the other.”[81] The Verge rated the Oasis as 9 of 10, praising its thinness, its weight without the cover and the ability to read with one hand, but did not like that is so expensive, has no adaptive backlight like the Voyage and it is not waterproof.[82]

Kindle 8 Amazon’s upgrade of the standard Kindle was released on June 22, 2016 in both black and white colors ($80 ad-supported, $100 no ads). The Kindle 8 features a new rounded design that is 0.35 inches (9 mm) shorter, 0.16 inches (4 mm) narrower, 0.043 inches (1.1 mm) thinner, and 1.1 ounces (30 g) lighter than the previous Kindle 7, and features double the RAM (512MB) of its predecessor. The Kindle 8 is the first Kindle to use Bluetooth that can support VoiceView screen reader software for the visually impaired. It has the same screen display as its predecessor, a 167 ppi E Ink Pearl touch-screen display, and Amazon claims it has a four-week battery life and can be fully charged within four hours.[83][84]

Ninth generation Kindle Oasis (second generation) Amazon released the second-generation Kindle Oasis, marketed as the “All-New Kindle Oasis” and colloquially referred to as the Oasis 2, on October 31, 2017. It is available in 8 GB Wi-Fi, 32 GB Wi-FI and 32 GB Wi-Fi + 3G ($350 no ads) models with a seven-inch E Ink display with 300 ppi.[85] It has an asymmetric design like the first-generation Oasis, so it works for one-handed use, and the device finish is made from aluminum. The device has a black front, with either a silver or gold colored back.[86] The Oasis 2 is the first Kindle to be IPX8 rated so it is water-resistant up to two meters for up to 60 minutes, and first to be able to change the background black and the text to white. It is front-lit with 12 LEDs, and has ambient light sensors to adjust the screen brightness automatically. It supports playback of Audible audiobooks by pairing with A2DP supported external Bluetooth 4.2 speakers or headphones; the device can store up to 35 audiobooks with 8 GB or 160 audiobooks with the 32 GB model.[87] The Oasis 2’s internal battery lasts about six weeks of reading at 30 minutes a day.

The Verge gave the Oasis 2 a score of 8 of 10, praising its design, display, and water resistance, but criticizing its high cost and inability to read an e-book while its related audiobook is playing.[88] Techradar rated it as 4.5 of 5, saying the Oasis 2 is expensive but it praises as the best e-reader at the time with its lovely metal design, waterproofing and great reading experience.[89]

Tenth generation Kindle Paperwhite (fourth generation) Amazon announced the fourth-generation Kindle Paperwhite on October 16, 2018 and released it on November 7, 2018; it is colloquially referred to as the Paperwhite 4 and Paperwhite 2018.[90] It is available in 8 GB Wi-Fi, 32 GB Wi-Fi and 32 GB Wi-Fi + 4G LTE ($250 no ads) models. It features a 6-inch plastic-backed display of Amazon’s own design with 300 ppi and a flush screen featuring five LED lights.[91] It is waterproof with an IPX8 rating, allowing submersion in 2 meters of fresh water for up to one hour. It supports playback of Audible audio books only by pairing with external Bluetooth speakers or headphones.

The Verge rated the Paperwhite 4 as 8.5 of 10, praising its great display, water-resistance and battery life but criticizing its lack of physical buttons and no USB-C support.[92]

Kindle (10th Generation) Kindle 10 Kindle 10 Amazon announced the Kindle (10th Generation) on March 20, 2019, that features the first front light available on a basic Kindle. The front light uses 4 LEDs compared to the Paperwhite with 5 LEDs. Kindle 10 uses a 6-inch display with a higher contrast than previous basic Kindles and has the same 167 ppi resolution.[93] It has black and white colors and can use Bluetooth to connect headphones or external speakers which can be used to read out content, it also reads out the menu options you tap on the screen.

Kindle Oasis (third generation) Amazon released the third-generation Kindle Oasis, colloquially referred to as the Oasis 3, on July 24, 2019. Externally it is nearly identical in appearance to the second-generation Oasis, with a similar 7-inch, 300ppi E Ink display, one-handed design, waterproofing, aluminum exterior, Bluetooth support and Micro USB for charging. It adds a 25 LED frontlight that can adjust color temperature to warmer tones, the first Kindle to be able to do so.[94]

The Verge gave the Oasis 3 an 8 of 10 rating, praising its design, display, and warmer E Ink display, but criticizing its high cost, no USB-C support and the lackluster update over the 2017 model.[95]

Official accessories Cases With the release of the Kindle Paperwhite in 2012, Amazon released a natural leather cover and a plastic back that is form-fitted for the device that weighs 5.6 ounces.[96] The cover closes book-like from the left edge. The cover has magnets that activate the sleep/wake function in the Kindle when the cover is either closed or opened. The subsequent Amazon covers include this function.

With the release of the Voyage in 2014, Amazon released two covers with either a polyurethane or a leather cover. The Voyage attaches to the rear of the Protective Cover magnetically and the case’s cover folds over the top, and the case weighs 4.6 ounces. The case can fold into a stand, propping the Kindle up for hands-free reading.[97] With the release of the Paperwhite (4th gen) in 2018, Amazon released three versions of its cover: a water-safe fabric cover that can withstand brief exposure to water, a standard leather cover and a premium leather cover; these covers all weigh 4 ounces.[98]

Audio adapter In May 2016, Amazon released the official Kindle Audio Adapter for reading e-books aloud via a text-to-speech (TTS) system for the blind and visually impaired.[99] This accessibility accessory, initially supported only for the Paperwhite 3 and Oasis, plugs in the USB port and connects to headphones or speakers. Once connected, the reader uses the Voiceview for Kindle feature to navigate the interface and listen to e-books via TTS. This feature only supports e-books, not audiobooks or music.

Using the accessory reduces the Paperwhite 3’s battery life to six hours. As an alternative to the official adapter, a generic USB to audio converter will also work with Voiceview.[100]

Features Kindle devices support dictionary and Wikipedia look-up functions when highlighting a word in an e-book. The font type, size and margins can be customized. Kindles are charged by connecting to a computer’s USB port or to an AC adapter. Users needing accessibility due to impaired vision can use an audio adapter to listen to any e-book read aloud on supported Kindles, or those with difficulty in reading text may use the Amazon Ember Bold font for darker text and other fonts may too have bold font versions.

The Kindle also contains experimental features such a web browser that uses NetFront based on WebKit.[101] The browser can freely access the Kindle Store and Wikipedia on 3G models while the browser may be limited to 50MB of data per month to websites other than Amazon and Wikipedia,[102] Other possible experimental features, depending on the model are a Text-to-Speech engine that can read the text from ebooks and an MP3 player that can be used to play music while reading.

The Kindle’s operating system updates are designed to be received wirelessly and installed automatically during a period in sleep mode in which Wi-Fi is turned on.[103] A user may install firmware updates manually by downloading the firmware for their device and copying the file to the device’s root directory.[104] The Kindle operating system uses the Linux kernel with a Java app for reading e-books.[105]

Send-to-Kindle service Amazon offers an email-based service called “Send-to-Kindle” that allows the user to send HTML pages, Microsoft Word documents, GIF, PNG, and BMP graphics directly to the user’s Kindle library at Amazon. Sending the file is free if downloaded using Wi-Fi or $0.15 per MB when using a Kindle’s 3G service.[106] When Amazon receives the file, it converts the file to Kindle format and stores it in the user’s online library (called “Your Content” by Amazon). In addition to the document types mentioned above, this service can be used to send unprotected MOBI files to a user’s Kindle library. The Send-to-Kindle service’s personal documents can be accessed by all Kindle hardware devices as well as iOS and Android devices using the Kindle app.[107]

Format support by device Main article: Kindle File Format The first Kindle could read unprotected Mobipocket files (MOBI, PRC), plain text files (TXT), Topaz format books (TPZ) and Amazon’s AZW format.

The Kindle 2 added native PDF capability with the version 2.3 firmware upgrade.[108] The Kindle 1 could not read PDF files, but Amazon provides experimental conversion to the native AZW format,[109] with the caveat that not all PDFs may format correctly.[110] The Kindle 2 added the ability to play the Audible Enhanced (AAX) format. The Kindle 2 can also display HTML files.

The fourth and later generation Kindles, Touch, Paperwhite (all generations), Voyage and Oasis (all generations) can display AZW, AZW3, TXT, PDF, unprotected MOBI, and PRC files natively. HTML, DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP are usable through Amazon’s conversion service. The Keyboard, Touch, Oasis 2 & 3, Kindle 8 & 9 and Paperwhite 4 can also play Audible Enhanced (AA, AAX). The Kindle (7, 8 & 9), Kindle Paperwhite (2, 3 & 4), Voyage and Oasis (1, 2 & 3) can display KFX files natively. KFX is Amazon’s successor to the AZW3 format.

Kindles cannot display EPUB files but by using calibre, an EPUB or other unsupported files not listed here can be converted to one of the supported file formats.[111]

Multiple devices and organization An e-book may be downloaded from Amazon to several devices at the same time, as long as the devices are registered to the same Amazon account. A sharing limit typically ranges from one to six devices, depending on an undisclosed number of licenses set by the publisher. When a limit is reached, the user must remove the e-book from some device[112] or unregister a device containing the e-book[113] in order to add the e-book to another device.

The original Kindle and Kindle 2 did not allow the user to organize books into folders. The user could only select what type of content to display on the home screen and whether to organize by author, title, or download date. Kindle software version 2.5 allowed for the organization of books into “Collections” which behave like non-structured tags/labels: a collection can not include other collections, and one book may be added to multiple collections. These collections are normally set and organized on the Kindle itself, one book at a time. The set of all collections of a first Kindle device can be imported to a second Kindle device that is connected to the cloud and is registered to the same user; as the result of this operation, the documents that are on the second device now become organized according to the first device’s collections. There is no option to organize by series or series order, as the AZW format does not possess the necessary metadata fields.

X-Ray Main article: X-Ray (Amazon Kindle) X-Ray is a reference tool that is incorporated in Kindle Touch and later devices, the Fire tablets, the Kindle app for mobile platforms and Fire TV. X-Ray lets users explore in more depth the contents of a book, by accessing pre-loaded files with relevant information, such as the most common characters, locations, themes, or ideas.[114]

Annotations Users can bookmark, highlight, and search through content. Pages can be bookmarked for reference, and notes can be added to relevant content. While a book is open on the display, menu options allow users to search for synonyms and definitions from the built-in dictionary. The device also remembers the last page read for each book. Pages can be saved as a “clipping”, or a text file containing the text of the currently displayed page. All clippings are appended to a single file, which can be downloaded over a USB cable.[115] Due to the TXT format of the clippings file, all formatting (such as bold, italics, bigger fonts for headlines, etc.) is stripped off the original text.

Textbook rentals On July 18, 2011, Amazon began a program that allows college students to rent Kindle textbooks from three different publishers for a fixed period of time.[116]

Collection of user reading data Kindle devices may report information about their users’ reading data that includes the last page read, how long each e-book was opened, annotations, bookmarks, notes, highlights, or similar markings to Amazon.[117] The Kindle stores this information on all Amazon e-books but it is unclear if this data is stored for non-Amazon e-books.[118] There is a lack of e-reader data privacy — Amazon knows the user’s identity, what the user is reading, whether the user has finished the book, what page the user is on, how long the user has spent on each page, and which passages the user may have highlighted.[119]

Kindle ecosystem Kindle Store Main article: Kindle Store

The New Yorker subscribed on a “Kindle Keyboard” Content from Amazon’s Kindle Store is encoded in Amazon’s proprietary Kindle formats (.azw, .kf8 and .kfx). In addition to published content, Kindle users can also access the Internet using the experimental web browser, which uses NetFront.[120][121] Users can use the Kindle Store to access reading material using the Kindle itself or through a web browser to access content.[6] The store features Kindle Unlimited for unlimited access to over one million e-books for a monthly fee.[122]

Content for the Kindle can be purchased online and downloaded wirelessly in some countries, using either standard Wi-Fi or Amazon’s 3G “Whispernet” network.[123] Whispernet is accessible without any monthly fees or a subscription,[124] although fees can be incurred for the delivery of periodicals and other content when roaming internationally beyond the customer’s home country. Through a service called “Whispersync,” customers can synchronize reading progress, bookmarks, and other information across Kindle hardware and other mobile devices.[125][126]

For U.S. customers traveling abroad, Amazon originally charged a $1.99 fee to download e-books over 3G while overseas, but later removed the fee. Fees remain for wireless 3G delivery of periodical subscriptions and personal documents, while Wi-Fi delivery has no extra charge.[127]

In addition to the Kindle Store, content for the Kindle can be purchased from various independent sources such as Fictionwise and Baen Ebooks. Public domain titles are also obtainable for the Kindle via content providers such as Project Gutenberg, The Internet Archive and the World Public Library. In 2011, the Kindle Store had more than twice as much paid content as its nearest competitor, Barnes & Noble.[128]

Public libraries that offer books via OverDrive, Inc. also lend titles for the Kindle and Kindle reading apps in the USA. Books are checked out from the library’s own site, which forwards to Amazon for the completion of the checkout process. Amazon then delivers the title to the Kindle for the duration of the loan, though some titles may require transfer via a USB connection to a computer. If the book is later checked out again or purchased, annotations and bookmarks are preserved.[129]

Kindle applications for reading on other devices Amazon released the Kindle for PC application in late 2009, available for Microsoft Windows systems.[130] This application allows ebooks from Amazon’s store or personal ebooks to be read on a personal computer, with no Kindle device required.[131] Amazon released a Kindle for Mac app for Apple Macintosh & OS X systems in early 2010.[132] In June 2010, Amazon released the Amazon Kindle for Android. Soon after the Android release, versions for the Apple iOS (iPhone and iPad) and BlackBerry OS phones were available.[133] In January 2011, Amazon released Kindle for Windows Phone.[134] In July 2011, Kindle for HP TouchPad (running webOS) was released in the U.S. as a beta version.[135] In August 2011, Amazon released an HTML5-based webapp for supported web browsers called Kindle Cloud Reader.[136] In 2013, Amazon has expressed no interest in releasing a separate Kindle application for Linux systems; the Cloud Reader can be used on supported browsers in Linux.[137]

On April 17, 2014, Samsung announced it would discontinue its own e-book store effective July 1, 2014 and it partnered with Amazon to create the Kindle for Samsung app optimized for display on Samsung Galaxy devices. The app uses Amazon’s e-book store and it includes a monthly limited selection of free e-books.[138]

On June 2016, Amazon released the Page Flip feature to its Kindle applications that debuted on its e-readers a few years previously.[139] This feature allows the user to flip through nine thumbnails of page images at a time.

Kindle Direct Publishing Main article: Kindle Direct Publishing Concurrently with the release of the first Kindle device, Amazon launched Kindle Direct Publishing, used by authors and publishers to independently publish their books directly to Kindle and Kindle Apps worldwide.[140] Authors can upload documents in several formats for delivery via Whispernet and charge between $0.99 and $200.00 per download.[140]

In a December 5, 2009 interview with The New York Times, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos revealed that Amazon keeps 65% of the revenue from all e-book sales for the Kindle;[141] the remaining 35% is split between the book author and publisher. After numerous commentators observed that Apple’s popular App Store offers 70% of royalties to the publisher, Amazon began a program that offers 70% royalties to Kindle publishers who agree to certain conditions.[142] Some of these conditions, such as the inability to opt out of the lendability feature, have caused some controversy.[143]

Kindle Development Kit On January 21, 2010, Amazon announced the release of its Kindle Development Kit (KDK).[144] KDK aims to allow developers to build “active content” for the Kindle, and a beta version was announced with a February 2010 release date. A number of companies have already experimented with delivering active content through the Kindle’s bundled browser, and the KDK gives sample code, documentation and a Kindle Simulator together with a new revenue sharing model for developers.[145] The KDK is based on the Java programming language’s Personal Basis Profile packaged Java APIs.

As of May 2014 Kindle store offered over 400 items labeled as active content.[146] These items include simple applications and games, including a free set provided by Amazon Digital Services.[147] As of 2014, active content is only available to users with a U.S. billing address.

In October 2014, Amazon announced that the Voyage and future e-readers would not support active content because most users prefer to use apps on their smartphones and tablets, but the Paperwhite first-generation and earlier Kindles would continue to support active content.[148]

Reception Sales Specific Kindle device sales numbers are not released by Amazon; however, according to anonymous inside sources, over three million Kindles had been sold as of December 2009,[149] while external estimates, as of Q4-2009, place the number at about 1.5 million.[150] According to James McQuivey of Forrester Research, estimates are ranging around four million, as of mid-2010.[151]

In 2010, Amazon remained the undisputed leader in the e-reader category, accounting for 59% of e-readers shipped, and it gained 14 percentage points in share.[152] According to an International Data Corporation (IDC) study from March 2011, sales for all e-book readers worldwide reached 12.8 million in 2010; 48% of them were Kindles.[153] In the last three months of 2010, Amazon announced that in the United States its e-book sales had surpassed sales of paperback books for the first time.[154]

In January 2011, Amazon announced that digital books were outselling their traditional print counterparts for the first time ever on its site, with an average of 115 Kindle editions being sold for every 100 paperback editions.[155] In December 2011, Amazon announced that customers had purchased “well over” one million Kindles per week since the end of November 2011; this includes all available Kindle models and also the Kindle Fire tablet.[156] IDC estimated that the Kindle Fire sold about 4.7 million units during the fourth quarter of 2011.[157] Pacific Crest estimated that the Kindle Fire models sold six million units during Q4 2012.[158]

Morgan Stanley estimates that Amazon sold $3.57 billion worth of Kindle e-readers and tablets in 2012, $4.5 billion in Kindle device sales in 2013 and $5 billion in Kindle device sales in 2014.[159]

Aftermarket Working Kindles in good condition can be sold, traded, donated or recycled in the aftermarket. Due to some Kindle devices being limited to use as reading device and the hassle of reselling Kindles, some people choose to donate their Kindle to schools, developing countries, literacy organizations, or charities.[160] “The Kindle Classroom Project” promotes reading by distributing donated Kindles to schools in need.[161] Worldreader and ‘Develop Africa’ ships donated e-readers to schools in developing countries in Africa for educational use.[162][163] ‘Project Hart’, a non-profit created in the legacy of Michael S. Hart, will take donations of e-readers that can be refurbished to give to people in need.[164]

Whether in good condition or not, Kindles should not be disposed of in normal waste due to the device’s electronic ink components and batteries. Instead, Kindles at the end of their useful life should be recycled. In the United States, Amazon runs their own program, ‘Take Back’, which allows owners to print out a prepaid shipping label, which can be used to return the device for disposal.[165]

Criticism On July 17, 2009, Amazon withdrew from sale two e-books by George Orwell, Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, refunding the purchase price to those who had bought them, and remotely deleted these titles from purchasers’ devices without warning after discovering that the publisher lacked rights to publish these books. The two books were protected by copyright in the United States, but they were in the public domain in some other countries.[166] Notes and annotations for the books made by users on their devices were left in a separate file but “rendered useless” without the content to which they were directly linked.[166][167] The move prompted outcry and comparisons to Nineteen Eighty-Four itself: in the novel, books, magazines, and newspapers in public archives that contradict the ruling party are either edited long after being published or destroyed outright; the removed materials go “down the memory hole”, the nickname for an incinerator chute used in 1984.[168] Customers and commentators noted the resemblance to the censorship in the novel, and described Amazon’s action in Orwellian terms. Ars Technica argued that the deletion violated the Kindle’s terms of service, which stated in part:[169]

Upon your payment of the applicable fees set by Amazon, Amazon grants you the non-exclusive right to keep a permanent copy of the applicable Digital Content and to view, use and display such Digital Content an unlimited number of times, solely on the Device or as authorized by Amazon as part of the Service and solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

Amazon spokesman Drew Herdener said that the company is “changing our systems so that in the future we will not remove books from customers’ devices in these circumstances.”[170] On July 23, 2009, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos posted on Amazon’s official Kindle forum an apology about the company’s handling of the matter. Bezos said the action was “stupid”, and that the executives at Amazon “deserve the criticism received”.[171]

On July 30, 2009, Justin Gawronski, a Michigan high school senior, and Antoine Bruguier, a California engineer, filed suit against Amazon in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington. Bruguier argued that Amazon had violated its terms of service by remotely deleting the copy of Nineteen Eighty-Four he purchased, in the process preventing him from accessing annotations he had written. Gawronski’s copy of the e-book was also deleted without his consent, and found Amazon used deceit in an email exchange. The complaint, which sought class-action status, asked for both monetary and injunctive relief.[167][172] The case was settled on September 25, 2009, with Amazon agreeing to pay $150,000 divided between the two plaintiffs, on the understanding that the law firm representing them, Kamber Edelson, “will donate its portion of that fee to a charitable organization”.[173] In the settlement, Amazon also provided wider rights to Kindle owners over its e-books:

For copies of Works purchased pursuant to TOS granting “the non-exclusive right to keep a permanent copy” of each purchased Work and to “view, use and display [such Works] an unlimited number of times, solely on the [Devices]… and solely for [the purchasers’] personal, non-commercial use”, Amazon will not remotely delete or modify such Works from Devices purchased and being used in the U.S unless (a) the user consents to such deletion or modification; (b) the user requests a refund for the work or otherwise fails to pay for the work (e.g., if a credit card issuer declines payment); (c) a judicial or regulatory order requires such deletion or modification; or (d) deletion or modification is reasonably necessary to protect the consumer, the operation of a device or network used for communication (e.g., to remove harmful code embedded within an e-book on a device).[174]

On September 4, 2009, Amazon offered all affected users a choice of restoring of the deleted e-books or receiving an Amazon gift certificate or check for $US30.[175]

In December 2010, Amazon removed three e-books written by Selena Kitt for violations of Amazon’s publishing guidelines. For what Amazon describes as “a brief period of time”, the books were unavailable for redownload by users who had already purchased them. This ability was restored after it was brought to Amazon’s attention; however, no remote deletion took place.[176]

In October 2012, Amazon suspended the account of a Norwegian woman who purchased her Kindle in the United Kingdom, and the company deleted every e-book on her Kindle. Amazon claimed that she had violated their terms of service but did not specify what she had done wrong.[177] After the woman contacted the media, Amazon restored her account and her purchased e-books.[178][179][180]

Richard Stallman criticized the Kindle,[181][182] citing Kindle terms of service which can censor users, which require the user’s identification, and that can have a negative effect on independent book distributors; he also cited reported restrictions on Kindle users, as well the ability for Amazon to delete e-books and update software without the users’
