It’s not the sensation of his first effort, but Stephen King’s latest e-adventure is another best-seller.
King’s agent, Ralph Vicinanza, said Tuesday that downloads of King’s novella “UR,“ available only as an e-book and released to coincide with the launch of Amazon’s upgraded Kindle reader, have reached “five figures” after barely three weeks on the market.
In 2000, in the early years of digital texts, King’s novella “Riding the Bullet” was downloaded hundreds of thousands of times, overwhelming Amazon.com and other online sites.
