Here’s a cool new use for the Kindle: the distribution of movie and TV scripts. To promote the new Edie Falco series “Nurse Jackie”, Showtime has put the script for the pilot episode on the Kindle store as a free download. That’s right, free! I can see this becoming a niche reading category for fans of TV shows and movies, and a great way for studios to use the Kindle to distribute content in a new format that doesn’t compete with the main product they’re trying to sell.
