Thanks for reminding me about the Mariani. I could have sworn I bought The Mozart Conspiracy, but I don't seem to have it after all. Maybe I was just thinking it over when I saw the paperback at the B&N.
On Amazon, I'm fascinated by the way so many of the indie authors have many more reviews than, say, Chris Kuznesk are Allan Folsom or some of the other similar writers appearing in hardback and paperback. Are people more likely to post a review if they bought the Kindle version? Or are those indie authors selling that many copies because of the cheaper kindle prices? Some of the indie authors on my "Codeian" wishlist have higher overall ratings, too, but I don't always trust those numbers. I've come across too many one-star reviews that say something useless like "The book never arrived in the mail."
