Today, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of TED Books, an imprint of short nonfiction works designed for digital distribution. Shorter than traditional books, TED Books run less than 20,000 words each — long enough to explain a powerful idea, but short enough to be read in a single sitting. Books are available on the Kindle and Kindle Reader apps, and cost $2.99 each.
And if that’s not a bargain, I don’t know what is.
I also think that ebooks will truly become mainstream when, like TED have here, other organisations, TV studios, radio stations and all manner of exciting people start releasing great content for a couple of quid.
Or dollars. Whatevs.
