From the BBC News:

The Queen’s Christmas speech is to be released as a free download for Amazon’s Kindle e-book reader following its broadcast.

The retailer secured access to the transcript after approaching the Royal Household with the proposal.

The arrangement is an e-book exclusive although the text will also be made available at Facebook and the Royal Household’s official website.

Book industry watchers described the move as a “coup” for Amazon. In addition to this year’s speech Kindle owners will be able to download the Queen’s previous Christmas messages dating back to 1952, the year of her accession to the throne.
