Dutch, This was more of a publicity stunt that anything else for Stephen King IMO. The good news for Gemstar is that it has shed a light on the industry. I don't know the answer to your question but I believe that paperbacks are just one niche market for the embryo eBook. In just a few weeks we have seen already had announcements from Siemens and Thomson. I have been reviewing the TV Guide merger in a new light since the eBook acquisitions. Assets that I had hoped Henry would spin off now take on new significance. Once again I am left with the realization that Henry can only be appreciated with hindsight and of my own arrogance for questioning such, even if for a moment. Regards Stew
