Stephen R. Covey author of many top selling books among which is “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” and “Principle-Cantered Leadership” which has sold more than 15 million worldwide, has signed an exclusive deal with the ebook retailer to only distribute his books through the Amazon Kindle Store.

A move that will set apart Kindle from its competitors and that may convince many readers to switch from traditional books to electronic books.

This much feared deal will see a change in the book publishing company where authors are searching for a bigger cut of the royalties of the book by skipping the traditional publishers, this will also set Amazon ahead of its fierce competitors Sony and Barnes & Noble.
