That is believable, yes. But doesn't it follow that she must be reading an extraordinary number of books for her to be posting comments?

I was a librarian and it was typical of me, when time permitted (which was rare) to skip-read and take notes on a dozen or so books a day to prepare for book promotions.

If that is what "Klausner" is doing, isn't it more than a little disingenuous of her not to state that fact? She certainly seems to be implying that she actually reads the novels, and explains that ability by claiming to be a speed-reader.

In any case I do not state that Harriets comments on Amazon are worth much. Few actually are.

Have you read Ana Mardoll's reviews? I just checked some out recently. She is the anti-Klausner. Where Klausner writes brief snippets and meaningless recommendations, Ana's reviews take the tactic of bludgeoning you with such a mountain of information, that you would not dare to offer a contradictory point of view.
Seriously Ana - I saw your review of the Pocketbook 360 vs. PRS-350. Good God, woman! It's the giantest review I have ever seen. I actually copied and pasted the entire thing in Word, just to check... it's over 3000 words!
I suppose it's fitting when reviewing an ebook reader that you would write a whole book about it...

Out of curiosity - is there any particular reason you have two distinct accounts on MR?
