The Kindle and the Academy Awards – A Brief Sampler

I couldn’t help but notice, the morning after the Academy Awards show, that large enough numbers of Kindle owners were paying $14.85 to purchase and download Sandra Novack’s novel Precious to drive it temporarily into the top 200 in the Kindle Store sales rankings despite its price.  It’s probably a terrific read — after all, it has 21 5-star ratings among its 28 reviews — but I suspect that it is also getting a lot of attention because, like one of the reviewers, some people are confusing it with the novel from which the Oscar-nominated film Precious was adapted. So I did a little checking on Oscar-related Kindle editions and unfortunately found slim pickings, which I supplemented below with Amazon’s listings of associated novels, scripts, and video.
