It's really too bad that one has to wait that length of time for the book. Couldn't the author work with Amazon so that those committed to buying the book be allowed a Kindle-ready download (which also has a Kindle for PC app) or in a downloaded e-book?
When I go in to Amazon, there's a little link saying, "Would you like to see this book on Kindle". Start clicking on it. Who knows if it will work, but what the hell....
If there is one thing I know about alcoholics - they hate to wait!
