With all of the hubbub around Apple s Spring Loaded event, as well as new Fitbit, and Samsung announcements over the past few weeks, you may not have noticed a possible paradigm-shifting move that Amazon made with its Kindle e-book platform. Amazon s new Kindle Vella service is slowly rolling out in a testing phase right now, but it could change how many of us consume the written word moving forward.
What is Amazon Kindle Vella?

At its core, Kindle Vella is a new way to experience reading through Amazon that promotes serialized storytelling. If that sounds like the experience of watching a television/streaming series, you re not far off. The idea is that authors will periodically publish chapters (or episodes ) and release them via Kindle Vella to their readers, who will subsequently pay to access each new chapter/episode as they come out.
