Kindle is testing the market for interest in Mitch Albom’s “Commencement Speech To His Nephew’s Graduating Class: May 30, 2008, Nice, France.” First question: Was it in English, and could the class understand it? (True, Europeans tend to be bilingual, unlike most Americans.)
Priced at bargain-basement 99 cents, the Kindle file clocks in at fewer than 4,000 words.
Amazon pitches it: “Albom created a memorable testament to what we know and what we need to learn. In his passionate, touching and frequently funny address, he warned the class of 2008 of the many things they should watch out for in life, from sushi at airports to religions that advertise in the back of magazines.”
At 99 cents, there’s not much risk in that investment — except for the $400 machine it comes in.
