Would you believe - well, yes, you probably would - I can no longer find the reference to a copy of one of the books with a deleted scene attached...

I stayed up late finishing Think of England and adored it. Plenty of mayhem and mystery with spies in an English country house in the period around the Boer war. The spies are in fact the good guys and have plenty of m/m romance, suitably interspersed with angst about the social implications. Think Forster's Maurice meets Pros and you'll have a vague idea. No magic whatsoever but the characters are magical enough. She also pays homage to the concept of fanfic by borrowing an idea from Rider Haggard.

I agree about sharing e-books. Don't get me started - it seems I'd be preaching to the converted anyway! I buy from the source publisher when I can, but convert for my Kindle and then keep a copy on my hard drive. But some things are only available on Amazon or e.g. Kobo so then I'm stuck. Think of England is available at http://www.allromanceebooks.com
There's no sign of a paperback anywhere but it's Samhain and they usually do paperback versions if things sell well.

I've been following a lot of blogs and info about Amazon and whilst I don't think they're 'good guys' in many respects (like the way they treat their staff) I do think the current attempts to discredit them are based on some untruths and lack of logic. Still, I don't particularly want to make them any richer. *g*
