From the The Wall Street Journal:
“I have no plans for a digital version,” Mr. King said. “Maybe at some point, but in the meantime, let people stir their sticks and go to an actual bookstore rather than a digital one.”
Writer Stephen King has been getting a lot of “atta boys” from all over the net (especially in my RSS feed) in announcing that his next book, Joyland, will be print only. All I can do is sigh and think: here we go again. I’m sure people in important places will watch to see how this plays out. Will there be backlash? Will Stephen King’s fans stir their sticks and go to an actual bookstore? Time will only tell. I wouldn’t be going but then I’m not a fan. And he’s wrong in what he’s doing. The consumer should have the choice, always.
