In the aftermath of the festive season, it's pretty clear to see who the big winner is; needless to say Suzanne Collins's Christmas dinner must have tasted all the better for knowing that her Hunger Games series were blowing the competition away, with the first three books at the very top of the chart, not to mention the box set creeping in at number five, only split by the huge-selling biography of Steve Jobs, which was always going to be a highly-gifted book this year. With  Kindle Fire for Dummies selling well too, one can assume that, as Amazon keep telling us, the Kindle really is one of the most desired electronic gizmos of the moment.
