There is a niche for it. Write it well and it could be like the shack by william p. young. This story was good. Today this book has over 4500 reviews on Amazon.

I got me a kindle. It's really nice. I had thought it as some electronic gadgetry, but the screen is unlike screens of TV or other electronic devices. It's almost like reading on matte plastic of some sort. Not reflective, once gotten used to it, it's almost like reading on paper. I am a...
