E-books have done particularly well in categories that are considered more disposable and sold as mass-market paperbacks, namely romance, science fiction and thrillers.
Foremost in interest is To Cork or Not to Cork: Tradition, Romance, Science, and the Battle for the Wine Bottle (Scribner, $26) by George M. Taber, who recounted the famous 1976 blind tasting between France and California in "Judgment of Paris" (Scribner, 2005).
The first: I don't really accept the idea that Historical Fiction is a genre in the same sense that Mystery, Romance, Science Fiction, or the Western is one.
Like Carina, a lot of the eBook-only presses focus on genre titles -- romance, science fiction, fantasy -- which lend themselves naturally to the eBook format, as they're often quickly-consumed and addictive.
Choose the genre you would like to browse, such as "Fiction," "Non-Fiction," "Romance," "Science," etc.
Popular shojo themes include: magical girl (see below), school romance, historical romance, modern romance, science fiction, sports, Gothic horror/vampires, and boys love (yaoi) manga.
