Mitch Albom Exclusive Content for the Kindle
Best-seller Mitch Albom (Tuesdays With Morrie, The Five People You Meet In Heaven) has released a piece of material exclusively for the Kindle. Albom delivered the commencement speech at his nephew’s high school graduation recently and has made the entire speech available for download on the Kindle. All the proceeds from the speech will go to a charity to help the homeless started by Albom.
Amazon has more information, as well as a Q&A with the author, available on their site. The speech itself is available for only 99 cents. You can download the commencement speech from the Kindle Store
Mitch’s agent David Black explains the choice to make the speech available on the Kindle saying, “We thought doing it through the Kindle would be an exciting way to bring readers to Mitch and to his work. I think that Amazon has been wonderfully creative in developing new means of reaching readers and that’s an incredibly important element of the book business as it is evolving.” (You can read more about what this tactic could mean for the Kindle and publishers here.)
I downloaded the speech just a second ago, and will be reviewing it for this site soon.
