Generación Kindle

Esteban Navarro is considered the creator of the term Generation Kindle,[38] referring to writers who emerged on the Kindle digital platform.[39][40] This "Generación Kindle"[41][42] brings together authors who, although they are of different ages and styles, publish their works through Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). The term has been embraced by the media to refer to all the authors who publish and succeed through ebooks.

Controversy

In 2017, the Directorate-General of the Police opened an Information File of him in his capacity as an official of the National Police after having published his novel A history of police, although the author unlinked the file with the publication of this work.[43]

This news had a lot of media coverage even in international newspapers, such as The Guardian.[44] In the indictment they pointed out that "some officials of the police station in Huesca" were worried that their activity in social networks would damage the image of the body to which it belongs.
