   I imagine so. My preference is for the Kindle.   
   There are those here who could give you a more accurate reply but those   
   genres have been merging for decades. I accept pre-human alien artifacts   
   having fantastic aspects but find acceptance of the supernatural annoying.   
   With regard to the infiltration of Romance into Science Fiction, most   
   Science Fiction writers of the '60s kept women in the kitchen. If The   
   Time Traveller's Wife was marketed as Romance, it would be an early   
   example of an infiltration of Fantasy masquerading as Science Fiction.   
   And, of course, Fantasy has no place in the reality of Romance.   
   I'll get my coat.
