I suppose that you simply have a great deal of distaste for "celebrities".
My wife hates ereaders - "It's not a real book".
A neighbor's kid likes to read, so I gave him a book that I thought he would enjoy. It turns out that he hates to read from "used" books. What a winner.
I don't watch Oprah. But from what little I've seen (and believe me, it's less than 4 or 5 minutes over the years) she seems to be a lot better than the rest.
MobileRead has 2 English versions. You'll need something like Calibre to shift to a Kindle format.
Good luck.

You started an interesting thread. It has lead to some interesting dialogue.
Others here get my simple point that Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina" should remain that. Oprah's a popular talk show host, not a great writer. She shouldn't be part of the title of such a great piece of literature.
But now you accuse me of hate. You are out of line, and I suspect you know it. You have attempted to provoke other participants of this thread with posts that contribute nothing.
My distaste is not for celebrities, it is for those who twist the truth.
