They're the perfect length for a read on the subway going to/from work! And it occurred to me - if eBook readers really become a staple, maybe that would revive the market for short stories, which hasn't really been "hot" for a long time (except maybe in s/f).

What do you think?
If you like short stories, check out the F. Scott Fitzgerald stories I assembled.

By the way, I'm a HUGE, HUGE Three Stooges fan.
