Kindle Vella Ceases Operations of Coin-Based Novel Reading App on Amazon Due to Lackluster User Engagement

Amazon announces the closure of its paid novel reading app to unlock the next chapter Kindle Vella, which will be shutting down in February 2025 after its launch in 2021.

Amazon stated that this decision was a tough one as the platform received positive responses from both writers and readers, but the numbers did not meet expectations.

For readers, all novels previously read or unlocked will be accessible on the Kindle app after Kindle Vella shuts down. However, new unlocks will no longer be possible after December 4th. Amazon advises using purchased coins to unlock upcoming chapters in advance. Any remaining coins will be exchanged for Amazon credits.
