This is a totally baseless and inaccurate statement. King is actually fairly reclusive considering how famous his books are. He could be in the spotlight a lot more than he is, if he wanted. He lives in Maine - Maine! - for Pete's sake. And has spread a ton of money around the state on various local causes with very little fanfare.
He chose to release this one short book in paperback only. So what? His next book Doctor Sleep will be available as an ebook so it's clearly a one-off. The person who said they can't read regular books has a valid point. Everyone else, stop whining already. Buy paperback, wait for the ebook, boycott King altogether, pirate the damn thing - make your choice and move on. Bellyaching about lack of ebook availability is definitely a "first world problem".
