BOOK REVIEW

Just finished 'Shoe Addicts Anonymous' by Beth Harbison and it was definitely addictive. Four different women. One common shoe size. And a shared lust for fabulous footwear.

Helene Zaharis's politician husband keeps her on a tight leash and cancels credit cards as a way of controlling her. Lorna Rafferty is up to her eyeballs in debt and can't stop her addition to eBay. Sandra Vanderslice, battling agoraphobia, pays her shoe bills by working as a phone-sex operator. And Jocelyn Bowen is a nanny for the family from hell (who barely knows a sole from a heel but who will do anything to get out if the house).

On Tuesday evening nights, these women meet to trade shoes and, in the process, form friendships that will help them each triumph over their problems--from secret pasts to blackmail, bankruptcy, and dating. Funny, emotional, and powerful, Shoe Addicts Anonymous is a perfect read for any woman who has ever struggled to find the perfect fit.

Do you have a Kindle or e-reader?

If you have a Kindle or E-reader of some sort hopefully you'll be able to help me out. My first book comes out in e format in Dec 2010 and I want to be able to make intelligent recommendations to my readers. I would value any input you can provide me.

What do you like about your Kindle or ereader? What don't you like about it? Are they proprietary to certain companies, i.e The Nook to Barnes & Noble, etc. What should I look for when purchasing one? What's new on the horizon in ereaders?  Are they here to stay or simply a trend? I know they have come down in price significantly so what should I expect to pay for one?

I would greatly appreciate any and all advice you can provide to me. Thanks so much for your valuable time!!
