Amazon.fr Opens French Kindle Store

Amazon.fr today launched the French Kindle Store offering customers a vast selection of over 35,000 French-language Kindle books, all 28 L'Express best sellers available in digital--the most in France--hundreds of popular graphic novels and over 4,000 free classics in French. The new store offers customers over 825,000 titles--including thousands of global best sellers--in English and other languages. Amazon also announced the first French-language Kindle--the smallest, lightest and most affordable Kindle ever--is available on Amazon.fr for only 99EUR . Amazon.fr customers can pre-order Kindle today on www.amazon.fr/kindle with a release date of October 14.

"French customers are passionate about books and reading, and just as we've seen in the US, UK and Germany, we believe they will love reading on Kindle. We are excited to bring our first French-language Kindle and our new Kindle store to millions of Amazon.fr customers," said Greg Greeley, vice president, Amazon European Retail. "Kindle is already the best-selling e-reader in the world. We kept everything readers love about Kindle--the electronic ink display that reads like real paper, with no glare, even in bright daylight, the convenience of downloading books in less than 60 seconds and Kindle's ability to disappear in your hands so you can get lost in the author's words--and made it lighter, smaller, faster, and more affordable than ever."

The French Kindle Store's vast selection of content includes popular titles from best-selling authors such as Katherine Pancol, Delphine de Vigan, Harlan Coben, Stéphane Hessel, Haruki Murakami, Françoise Bourdin and Michel Houellebecq in a wide range of categories. Customers will also find the largest selection of popular graphic novels available for download including titles from The Largo Winch Series of Francq and Van Hamme, Julia and Roem from Bilal and Walking Dead. Customers can also find top French newspapers and magazines such as Le Monde, Les Echos, Le Figaro, Libération and Aujourd'hui en France/Le Parisien available for single purchase or subscription. Independent authors and publishers can also now use Kindle Direct Publishing to make their books available in Amazon.fr's Kindle Store.
