Six weeks isn't too long to wait," he added.

I used to buy King's books as soon as they were released (back when hardbacks cost $25!) and looked forward to reading them. He was one author where I wouldn't wait for the paperback. So, to me, six weeks is too long to wait. I am going to download it as soon as I am able.

If King had handled this differently (Oh, my publisher insisted . . .) I would have bought the ebook when it came out. I really do believe in rewarding authors. But King just said f$#% you.

"F$#& you right back.

Not really. I love you, but I'm not going to be manipulated into buying a hardcover I don't want, or waiting breathlessly for an ebook I do.
