Following a nasty break-up, lovelorn college English instructor Wesley Smith can't seem to get his ex-girlfriend's parting shot out of his head: "Why can't you just read off the computer like the rest of us?" Egged on by her question and piqued by a student's suggestion, Wesley places an order for Amazon.com's Kindle eReader. The [pink?] device that arrives in a box stamped with the smile logo – via one-day delivery that he hadn't requested – unlocks a literary world that even the most avid of book lovers could never imagine.

Will it ever be available in print? I prefer to hold a book and physically turn the pages. Keep the stories coming...Love them all.

This makes me sad. Hopefully he kept the rights and can put it in the next book of short stories.

Being a fan of Mr. King for more years than I can remember, I am dissapointed that this novella has not yet appeared in print.

You know what pisses me of about this: This item is not available in your geographic location! As if when you live outside of the US you don't matter. This is also not the first instance of this happening. NOT COOL mister King. One p'd of constant reader.

I think at some point this story will be for all of us to read just not right now. I have an e reader by sony so I'm not going out to buy the kindle but I I'm surprised Stephen King would do something like this. I'm sure it must have been a great deal for him to do this to his non kindle fans.
