Will the new Kindle features, “Ask This Book” and “Story So Far,” trample on author’s rights? Authors and publishers are expressing concern that Amazon is preparing to use their copyrighted works to train their in-house LLM as well as anger readers by generating incorrect information.
Yep. You heard that right. KDP Select has now expanded to include public libraries
The word on the street is that Amazon’s Kindle Digital Platform is now expanding their Kindle Select program to include the addition of public libraries. On August 30, 2025, I talked with multiple KDP reps to confirm this news.
According to Amazon, the Kindle Recaps feature works similarly to TV show recaps in that it will supply a quick rundown of character arcs and storylines from previous books in a series. While this might seem a harmless and even welcome feature for readers, if you scratch the patina to find the fine print underneath, it’s not so benign after all.
