Re:King's eBook (Score 1)

Everyone here is acting like this is the first time a big name author has had an electronic book out. Well, I suppose this depends on your definition of "big author." Obviously, Stephen King is bigger than, say, David Weber (whose latest novel, Ashes of Victory will be #12 on Friday's New York Times bestseller list). Or David Drake. Or Dean Ing. I suppose King might even be bigger that Poul Anderson, in his way . . .

Baen Books has been putting their entire monthly release out out as electronic text for months. And they sell a collection of 4 or 5 novels for $10. Those are 4 or 5 real novels, not short stories.
