Stephen King likes the Kindle so much that he has written a novella exclusively for the e-book reader and it's not his first. In 2000 he wrote the first mass market ebook called "Riding the Bullet". This was received well with over half a million downloads in a couple of days. Then came "The Plant" where reader were asked to pay for each installment.
His new outing is about an English teacher who spends too much time on his computer. This leads to the breakup from his girlfriend. So he buys a Kindle - the rest is history....
King says "I don't think I would have written just any story for the Kindle – because it's Kindle specific, it makes it more interesting. It gave me a chance to confront some of these questions of books versus electronics."
Stephen King has been a strong advocate of e-books and he does not believe that e-publishing does not herald the death knell for the paperback.
