7 Reasons to Try Kindle Vella

Want a riveting story in bite-sized pieces?

Welcome to Kindle Vella, serialized stories you can read on your cell phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop.

Yes, this is the next big thing from Amazon.

There are only 3 drawbacks to Kindle Vella at this time. For most of you, this won't prevent you're trying the next big thing. 

1. They're available only for U.S. residents only, but that's probably going to change. 

2. The phone app is only for iPhone, not Android, but that too will probably change in a few months.

3. Unbelievably, they're not available on Kindle devices yet. Weird, right?

Oh, by the way, the main story page has 1 URL and each episode page has a different URL.

You can click here to download the iPhone app or plan to read on your tablet, laptop, or desktop. Go ahead. Give it a whirl.

How to Get Started

To get you exploring serialized stories, I'm pointing you to my Kindle Vella, Stone Angel, a paranormal romantic thriller.

Instead of book covers on Kindle Vella, each story has a round image, usually with no text because the story title and author name appear below the round image.

The one at left is the artwork you'll see on Kindle Vella for Stone Angel.

The first 3 episodes of Stone Angel are free.

Episode 1: Dark Heart

Episode 2: Sand Drifts Through Glass

Episode 3: The Favor

About Stone Angel

Who holds the secret of Time?

The time of birth? The time of death? The time of things yet to unfold?

Grain by grain, sand sifts through the hourglass. Second by second, Aurelia's hope for survival fades. Once passion and love filled her life. Now, only fear and pain remain. Tonight will probably be her last on this mortal plane.

Or does Destiny have other plans for her?
