As we are discussing ebooks according to the thread title I would be most happy if you would post some links to several fictional ebooks or even paper books or poetry, plays or something close that is an enjoyable work to a reasonable audience that has no story. Could be possible, and would be interesting. It seems a bit of an oxymoron in that if it is something that Is not true, then it implies a statement or a story, hence the term making up stories, but what do I know.

Well, I have read a lot of short stories that are not stories as such. They are more vignettes. They only want to give a feeling for the reader.
I recently read Gravity's Rainbow and I doubt there was a story in that book.
