Amazon creates reader-author interaction with @author
Amazon has launched quite a cool concept, which should aid author-reader interaction: users can ask the author of the book a question, directly from their Kindle:
To ask a question to an author from a Kindle book, all you need to do is highlight a passage using the controller, type ‘@author’ with your question and send. The question will then go to the author’s twitter account where they then have the choice of answering. Since the question goes directly to Twitter, questions from the Kindle are limited to just 100 characters. If you wish to ask a longer questions, then you must go to the writer’s Author page on the Amazon website.
If the author does answer your question and you’re following the author on Amazon’s Kindle page, it with then be included as public notes in your book for you to refer back to. If they are unable to answer your question, then other readers can pitch in with their answers on the author’s page.

Incredible Read!!!!, August 21, 2011
This review is from: Jackie O: On the Couch: Inside the Mind and Life of Jackie Kennedy Onassis (Hardcover)
If you love Jackie then you'll love this book! Our beloved Jackie seen as she would have revealed herself through the eyes of a psychoanalyst...talk about juicy. What a treat to go behind the scenes to get a real picture of the woman behind the facade. She was, I guess, a real person after all. Thank you Dr. Bond for your unique insight into the myth and mystique behind the Camelot lore. - Dr. Janet Brill

A little social media experiment is underway at the publishers Hamish Hamilton/Penguin UK: the publisher has tied up with the social media site PeerIndex to try out a new way of promoting its books. Penguin today is launching a campaign to tap “influencers” on Peer Index to read and spread the word about a new book—Hari Kunzru’s Gods Without Men.

Clara Roberts Review
She was so taken with the book that she wrote this blurb, which I thought you’d enjoy seeing:
“In this fascinating psycho-biography, Dr. Alma H. Bond takes us into the eloquent and complex mind of the unforgettable Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. A much-remembered fashion icon throughout the 1960s, and famously reticent first lady of the assassinated president, John F. Kennedy, her voice is finally available for readers.
Exploring Onassis’s lavish but demanding upbringing, two marriages, and one final relationship, Bond proves that this mysterious woman’s voice is worth listening to. In addition, the book demonstrates how this glamorous but grieving widow deserves the appreciation and respect she did not always receive during her lifetime. Written in the first-person, Jackie O: On the Couch demonstrates convincingly what Onassis’s voice would have been like if she had actually written an autobiography. The reader discovers how this woman distinguished herself as a dedicated wife and mother, and later, as a hard-working and devoted book editor.
Onassis lived through some of the most important times of history and attempted to pick up the pieces of her life after frequent mourning, and sometimes frequent media criticism. Fleshed out beautifully through descriptions and sentiments, this alluring icon’s identity is, ultimately, fully and finally unveiled to readers—it is a gem of a book that many readers the world over will find irresistible."

“Extremely entertaining. Totally and convincingly busts the long-held perception that, from a sexual standpoint, Jackie was the proverbial ice princess all her life.”

Impressive review!
I've got to admit, the reviews are lovely to read.
JACKIE O: ON THE COUCH is a fascinating fictionalized biography of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, by psychoanalyst and longtime student of Jackie lore, Dr. Alma Bond. Meticulously researched, this compelling "memoir" reflects Jackie’s innermost thoughts and feelings, and convincingly comes across as a book that Jackie might well have written. We feel it will have widespread appeal.
JACKIE O: ON THE COUCH delves into Jackie’s childhood, and helps the reader understand how and why she became the person she was. It also explores JFK’s background and the ways it affected his marriage. Jackie’s deep love for Jack, the cat and mouse game he played before their engagement, his early inattentiveness, the difficult years they spent together, along with details of his outrageous womanizing, and their happier times at the White House late in the marriage, are viewed through her eyes. A poignant description of Jack’s assassination and funeral is recounted. The book also looks into the widow Jackie’s need for Aristotle Onassis. She debunks the idea that she married Ari purely for his money, and discloses previously unknown graphic details of her sexual awakening. The joyful early years and the gradual collapse of the marriage is described, as is Ari’s death. Jackie’s successful entry into the publishing world, and how the work helped to define her follows. A new Jackie emerges, who probably is closer to the one she would have become had she not been First Lady. Her new persona allows her to form the best relationship of her life, with the elderly, stout, and adoring Maurice Templesman, who gave her the love, devotion, and constancy she never received from her two husbands. The book carefully follows the progress of the non-Hodgkins Lymphoma disease that led to Jackie’s death at age 63, from her fierce denial to the gradual acceptance that she would not survive.
