Under The Dome Already on the Net
As expected it's already out on the dark net

I'm coming up dry myself in my search for it (bought the hardback yesterday for £10 on a whim, even after promising myself no more paper books and especially no more Stephen King books). Now I feel like a filesharing noob
EDIT: Out of curiosity did it get released in .pdf or was it some other more ebooky format? Last edited by Moejoe; 11-14-2009 at 10:30 AM. |

Theres a html and an rtf version but they need heavy proof reading.

I had a feeling we'd get a leaked .prc or .epub on the day of the release, but I was completely wrong. Looks like a quick scan and dump job then. Probably get up to a v4 before it's even close to the actual book

Yeah, we learned about this a few weeks ago. I'm just going to wait. I am way behind in my reading anyway. |

I did buy the hard cover but it's just too big and heavy (bout 3 lbs) to carry around the next couple of weeks. If I can avoid people giving away details, I can hold out. That may mean leaving MR until January.

If you like digital and don't want the "weighty" pbook, it also came out in audio form. Audible has it for one credit or $19.59 member price. At Amazon the audio book is $26.39.
(I suspect they are trying an experiment to see how many people will actually wait for the ebook--since they're using such a popular writer's best work and all--or is that another conspiracy theory?). |

King's thinking, I believe, is that it's unlikely many people will give the eBook version as a Christmas present. So, he wants to maximize tree book sales both for customers who will buy it and read it straight away but also for those who will buy it to give. He probably figures the eBook crowd will celebrate Christmas by treating themselves to a copy when it is released on, or just before, the 25th of December.
