Amazon has quietly added a Russian language eBook section to its site.
While Russian Kindle books were available before, the site now counts 9,500 Kindle titles in Russian which are better indexed for discovery.
In an interview with Russian Beyond the Headlines, Vladimir Kharitonov, C.E.O. of the Russian Association of Web Publishers, said that while Russian language books had appeared on the site in the past, there is now better curating. Check it out:
Russian is one of the eight languages that have the highest number of books. That’s not surprising – for several years e-books in Russian appeared on Amazon in different ways. But there was no concrete place for them and it was difficult to find them through the search function.
