STEPHEN KING E-BOOK NEWS

Stephen King's publisher is keeping the e-book edition of his novel "Under the Dome" under wraps until the day before Christmas, as tensions mount between book publishers and retailers over the crucial issue of pricing industry blockbusters.

Aiming to preserve the value of the hardcover edition, Scribner, an imprint of CBS Corp.'s Simon & Schuster publishing arm, is delaying the electronic-book publication of the King thriller until Dec. 24, or six weeks after the $35 hardcover hits the bookstores on Nov. 10.


King has stated that he is a huge fan of E-books but when asked if he owned a Kindle or Sony Reader he said he had both. When pushed he wouldn't say which system he preferred.

He's probably wise not to have Picked between the two.
