Amazon Shorts

Not to be confused with pants, Amazon Shorts are e-book versions of short works from top authors which they are offering for 49 cents (USD) each. According to their website:
Amazon Shorts are never-before-seen short works from a wide variety of well-known authors, available only on Amazon.com. Try a new genre or a new author--there's something for everyone. Amazon Shorts are:
New short-form literature from top authors for only 49 cents
Delivered electronically; there are no printed editions
Yours forever after purchase; save or print and read at your convenience
I am not a big fan of reading fiction on a screen. There is something enjoyable in actually holding a book and not necessarily being at your desk whilst you do it. However, at about 75c, they might be worth a browse.
You can find Amazon Shorts at www.amazon.com.au in the left menu under the Books, Music, DVD category.
