I can definitely stomach more on the page than the screen. Surprisingly maybe I'm fairly sure I have something from Robbins in the tub. Do you have a favourite?col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-886574056877458892020-01-15T05:25:38.749-08:002020-01-15T05:25:38.749-08:00Sounds a lot of fun.

Re: page count - if an author re-uploads e-book content, earlier versions of the file get refreshed on your Kindle, which is nice!

The Malkie Thompson trilogy sounds good and seems to have a Harold Robbins feel to it. The fact that all three are novellas is a big plus.Prashant C.
