TKC 701 Charles Kronbach

A weekly podcast about the Kindle and eBooks with in-depth conversations with guests--authors, technology experts, book industry analysts, Amazon execs, educators, agents, readers, and more.

I absolutely love this podcast. Len is so insightful. I definitely recommend listening in on his podcast as well as his YouTube channel. Thanks to his expertise on all things kindle, I upgraded to a kindle paperwhite last year. I had my kindle keyboard since 2007 when I was 12 years old. It’s been a journey to go from my beloved paperbacks to my favorite ebooks.

My favorite podcast!

I’ve been listening to Len’s podcast for years now.  It’s always an interesting show, and his interviewing skills have only gotten better.  In particular, his most recent interview with James McQuivey is just excellent.  Mr. McQuivey has always been one of my favorite guests on Len’s podcast, but this last interview may be my favorite.  Well worth your time.

Always Interesting

TKC 516 Seattleite Ricardo Frazer's Take on Amazon

Helping authors and publishers flourish in the digital age  Interview starts at 12:44 and ends at 32:05This question has become a little bit of a litmus test in the writing and publishing community. It’s almost interesting to talk about how other people react very viscerally to Amazon as a good or bad influence or factor. I do consider myself mostly neutral. Nothing about it, I feel, is wholly good or bad. Mainly, it’s just brought about this enormous change. And for some the changes have been good, and for others they’ve been bad.

What’s incredibly humbling when you start to get to know these composers is that they’re just human beings like you and me, just trying to survive their lives, to express themselves through this particular art form.” News <a href="https://medium.com/@jeffreypbezos/no-thank-you-mr-pecker-146e3922310f" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> “No thank you, Mr. Pecker”</a> by Jeff Bezos at Medium - February 7, 2019 <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/facing-opposition-amazon-reconsiders-ny-headquarters-site-two-officials-say/2019/02/08/451ffc52-2a19-11e9-b011-d8500644dc98_story.html?utm_term=.194cf2a5b68b" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> "Facing opposition, Amazon reconsiders N.Y. headquarters site, two officials say"</a> by The Washington Post - February 8, 2019 <a href="https://amzn.to/2GDW84X" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kindle Paperwhite</a> on sale for $100 - $30 off Tech Tip <a href="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mobiscribe-the-e-ink-notepad#/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> MobiScribe E-ink Notepad</a> - $214 MobiScribe v5.18 <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WmlQ4s3nH5slq3hU5td8clQXNIaMYZZ0il5bUo8_zYc/edit" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Beginner’s guide</a> <a href="https://amzn.to/2GhVyu2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rocketbook Everlast Reusable Smart Notebook</a> - $30 AmazonBasics Alexa <a href="https://amzn.to/2N0xM6w" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Microwave</a> - $42 Interview with Clemency Burton-Hill <a href="https://amzn.to/2I3xJI7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Year of Wonder: Classical Music to Enjoy Day by Day</a> by Clemency Burton-Hill Year of Wonder playlists at <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/playlist/year-of-wonder/pl.u-L0gDvCAZJev" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> iTunes</a> and <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Q47QKPccMpmrBLsez9xoe" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Spotify</a> <a href="https://www.wqxr.org/?gclid=CjwKCAiA7vTiBRAqEiwA4NTO63PtwRfE5LEsP0x385OupqrehQsZSi0YtgKeRCBHWjPq6Gh88R8gGxoCA0cQAvD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> WQXR</a> Radio in New York City <a href="https://www.wnycstudios.org/shows/aria-code" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Aria Code podcast</a> <a href="https://www.bauermedia.co.uk/newsroom/press-releases/a-new-place-for-classical-music-scala-radio-is-launching" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Scala Radio</a> launch in the UK Content <a href="https://amzn.to/2SHwDpu" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Early Riser: A Novel</a> by Jasper Fforde - to be released February 12, 2019 <a href="https://amzn.to/2MUrKEc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Winter World</a> by A.
