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.
7 Reasons to Try Kindle Vella
1. They're bite-sized chunks of stories made for those odd bits and pieces of time most of us have.

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.
