Amazon's Singles Classics: Another Turn of the e-Shorts Page

Note that some reporting on the issue has been incorrect: Singles Classics are being made available not only in the States but also "in the UK as well as to English speakers worldwide," as an Amazon spokesperson tells Publishing Perspectives in answer to our inquiry. David Blum, the gifted editor of Kindle Singles, was quoted in the company's news release, saying, "Today's readers might never have the opportunity to discover great works like Ron Rosenbaum's "The Secrets of the Little Blue Box," Marcelle Clements' "The Dog Is Us"or TIME Magazine's legendary 1966 cover story "Is God Dead? With Singles Classics, we are making these seminal works easy to find and afford - by a student writing a term paper or by readers in search of short works by the writers they love."
