Kindle Development Services

Amazon recently invited software developers to build and upload active content that would be made available in their Kindle store. Zco Corporation is one of a handful of developers that Amazon has approved to offer Kindle Development services. As one of the largest mobile app developers in the world, Zco Corporation is well poised to offer development services for the #1 bestseller on Amazon, the Kindle.

Until recently, Amazon had welcomed authors and publishers to directly upload Kindle apps in the online store through a self-service publishing platform. The new Kindle Development Kit (KDK) now gives a select group of developers, including Zco Corporation, access to programming interfaces, tools and documentation to build Kindle apps including books, magazines, games and puzzles.

Amazon’s profit sharing system is similar to Apple’s in that developers suggest pricing for their Kindle apps and then receive 70% of the revenue from the sale of those applications. The only difference is, Amazon charges a 15¢ per megabyte app/content delivery cost. Since it is estimated that over 3 million e-readers were sold in 2009, Kindle Development is an opportunity tactical app developers cannot ignore.

Zco Corporation’s Kindle development service will include both building and marketing Kindle apps for their customers. Interested parties will pay for development costs and in return they will own the Kindle apps and collect 100% of the revenue from Amazon.
