Amazon Classic Book Request List - Page 6

EricLandes · 02-10-2010, 04:38 PM

My earlier request for Doomsday Book turned into a more general "which Hugo and Nebula Winners for Best Novel are and aren't on Kindle?" query.

As a result, I've put a permanent page on my blog designed to answer exactly that question. Also, it seems to be the only chronological, merged list of Hugo AND Nebula winners on the internet.

Please comment if you find any incorrect entries on there.

Thanks!

Good job on the blog. I haven't spotted any errors, but I will take a closer look later today.

EricLandes · 02-11-2010, 03:16 PM

Thanks, Angela. I'd be stunned if there wasn't an error or two in there as I was doing that while procrastinating at work.

A Night to Remember - Walter Lord

Amazon.com Sales Rank: #15,177 in Books

=X= · 02-12-2010, 07:11 PM

Yes the strike through will help reduce confusion, it might be clearer to add an * or {e} at the end of the title then folks will know what books now are electronic.

Also are we doing OOP books? If so I would like to recommend.
"The Luck of Huemac" by Daniel Peter that book is excellent.

We also have to make it a point to support hitting the "I’d like to read this book on Kindle" button

Thank you

A Night to Remember by Walter Lord has been added as it meets the criteria of being in the top 25,000 in sales rank.

Funnily enough I've just read that in paper. Superb book. If anyone isn't familiar with it, it's a book about the sinking of the Titanic, written exclusively from eyewitness accounts of the survivors, both passengers and crew.

Perhaps this is asking too much, but would it be possible to indicate in the original list which books are only available in the US, and which are available world-wide?

Eg, the list states that Raymond Chandler's "The Big Sleep" is available. Unfortunately, it's not available here in the UK.

seagull · 03-01-2010, 04:54 AM

I've worked through the list and these are available in the UK:
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
Watership Down by Richard Adams
Shogun by James Clavell
The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
Finnegan's Wake by James Joyce

Thanks, Seagull. Interestingly, when I checked last week, "The Big Sleep" wasn't available - it now is, as you say!

Just got a reply from Hachette - they do not have the rights to publish The Catcher in the Rye as an ebook either. It may be a while yet.

That's a pretty good title. Some very big books are still missing.

I just did a minor update to this page. Added links to winners back to 1998, and noticed that Spin, by Robert Charles Wilson is now available for Kindle. Yay!

Dear Sir,

I would like to purchase Title of The Book by Author Name (ISBN: 1234567890) for the Amazon Kindle, but it doesn't appear that this book is available as an ebook yet. Are there any plans to make this book available for the Kindle or other electronic book readers?

Thanks,
Your Name

Brilliant -- thanks -- I'll get on it.
