HangLoose, I think you underestimate the power of Oprah Winfrey in the US. She single handedly made the Kindle hot across the US. I'm not sure where you're from, but in America, she's the trendsetter of them all. She mentions you, and sales go through the roof overnight.

Check this out for a little background. This is about a special on her called "The Oprah Effect":

No one turns her down, and getting on her show is like a meal ticket to stardom and fame.
Yeah I heard that about Oprah... We also have *gasp* tv programs here in finland... Maybe Oprah was not a good example, but other tv talk shows are since people are always going to be biased in watching one or another...

Also, depending on the age group you want to target, it better market in the next GI Joe movie than in Oprah or Conan O'Brian (which btw is HUGE in finland *sigh*) :P
