"With
CALAMITY CLARESTA, Ms. Estep has penned a hilarious, heart-warming
story. Claresta has lots of mishaps thrown at her but remains a
strong, determined woman. Drake is strong as well, a hero for
Claresta would have to be. Both Drake and Claresta are loving and
kind-hearted, so they are a perfect match. They don't share a great
number of sex scenes, but when they do things get extremely hot. You
don't want to miss this lovely tale. "

The Kindle Reader (available from Amazon.com) and Sony Reader are the latest
equipment for reading E-Books. The Kindle is sold by Amazon.com, and a wide
variety of e-Books can be purchased through them. The Sony Reader displays
Adobe® PDFs, plus TXT, RTF, and Microsoft® Word files, which is a plus in my
book because you're not limited to which e-Book store you purchase from. I
believe both these devices use the new "electronic paper" display, a
very high resolution that requires no backlight. I'm not very familiar
with either of these devices, but from all I've heard these are excellent
readers.

What are dedicated E-book
readers?
The Ebookwise E-Book Reader is a fully
dedicated e-book reader and can be purchased from www.fictionwise.com.
The Rocket Reader, the RCA 1100 & 1200 which are similar devices
unfortunately are no longer available new. If
you're looking for one of these readers, then try http://www.ebay.com/ . The original
Rocket eBook 1100 is my favorite reading device. The backlight is
excellent and the fonts can be changed and enlarged to meet your
preference. (very easy on the eyes)
