<description><![CDATA[<p>That list of publishers mixes Evangelical with mainline houses: the mainline ones, like the Lutheran and Dutch reformed one, tend to put out dry tomes on dogma that Protestants of that type like.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by michael strangeways</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I can personally attest through painstaking experience that Penthouse Letters to the Editor books are available on the Kindle...</p>

<p>Having read/edited three of those "books" I can also safely say that all those "letters" are written by the same person, who I'm guessing to be, judging by the writing style, to be a 68 year old, Jewish writer living in the Bronx pretending to be a busty, slutty 28 year old blonde, white woman dissatisfied with her husband's "pink, picnic sausage" and determinded to encounter a little jungle love with the black mechanic living next door...</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Augsburg Fortress is a good publisher, heavy in academic works. I had to read a lot of their books in college; I'd be happy to have had their books on a Kindle. I don't know about the rest of these publishers Amazon has on tap.</p>]]></description>
