You can read books in Kindle readers for a limited period of time, without having to buy them. The two subscription services are not available in Portugal.
The company says the move is in line with the requests of the authors, who asked that “payment was aligned with the extending of the books and the customers read. ” So far, the compensation was made based on the number of purchased copies, whether they be read or not.
