TERMINUM x WATTPAD

Lyla El-Fayomi Terminum

It’s been 3 months since Terminum was released, and I wanted to do something special to say thank you for the international interest. So, I’m very excited to announce that beginning next Monday (July 20th, 2020), one chapter of my book will be released each week on Wattpad – for free!

As you probably know, the book has been available on Amazon in both e-book and paperback formats. I also signed a contract with Kindle Select, which meant that the e-book would be 1) part of the Kindle Unlimited family, and 2) available exclusively on Amazon. Rather than choosing to renew this contract for another term, I’ve decided to opt-out. 

What does this mean for Terminum?

It means the paperback and Kindle editions will still be sold on Amazon, however, we are leaving the Kindle Unlimited universe. 

I’ve chosen to do this because although the Kindle store serves many countries across the globe, there are some nations which are excluded. Until Amazon figures out a way to work themselves into these markets, I’m happy to make my book available for free elsewhere in addition to Amazon. Wattpad will thus be a great option for those who want to read Terminum, but who don’t have access to Amazon services.

Why keep my work on Amazon at all if it’s available elsewhere for free?

Well, some people love physical books and prefer to read that way. Also, there are those who have invested in a Kindle device to avoid reading on computer screens. At the end of the day, if I could make every format free, I would – but that’s just not how Amazon works. 

Once again, thank you for the support everyone! See you next week on Wattpad!
