I’m thrilled to see Oprah endorse Kindle!

No traditional book can offer the interactive platform I’ve created for the Kindle edition of my novel Brazil or open the door to actively sharing the magic that goes into the making of a monumental novel.

I’ve linked the e-text to an online guide with more than 200 images and illustrations, providing an indispensable companion on a fictional journey through five hundred years of Brazilian history. Plus my working notes and journals kept on a 20,000 kilometer trek through that vast land.

You can preview the guide at my website: http://www.erroluys.com

Were Gutenberg here to see the Kindle, he would have one word to say: “Bravo!”
