Mills & Boon boom sparked by young fans in rush to download romances
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-romances.html
'Some bashful customers prefer to use e-readers so they can access stories privately. However, there is no reason why reading Mills & Boon should have to be a guilty pleasure.' According to the publisher, online readers tend to prefer a raunchier read. Books from the Spice category represent most downloads, while those from modern romance section are the biggest selling paperbacks. Me: They could always switch to less embarrassing covers.... |

where I come from the library at my social club usually binds books in hardcover
if book cover is to them not suitable for public viewing. Even my sisters and female cousins put plain covers on books they read as the images on the covers would be frowned upon or their book selection restricted. |

One of the reasons I bought my Sony was I saw an ad in the Port Authority saying "Read hundreds of Romance Novels...and no one will see the cover!"
