Ever since Amazon officially launched its Kindles Singles storefront, content has slowly been populating the store. To be a “Kindle Single,” an eBook should be shorter than a regular Kindle book and have a low price. These books are categorized as between 10,000 and 30,000 words –or about 30-90 pages and are priced between $.99 and $4.99.
