As part of Amazon’s unveiling of Kindle 2, the online retailer announced a new novella from Stephen King titled Ur will be available exclusively on the device.  I caught up briefly with King at the Morgan Library in New York City.

Question: As a writer how important is this new delivery system?

King: The delivery mechanism to my mind is secondary for me as a writer. That isn’t necessarily true for people in the business end of it.  But I did this once before with a story called Riding the Bullet and I never had so many guys in suits come up to me and ask me questions. But they didn’t want to know about the story, they didn’t want to know about the process, they wanted to know about the delivery system, but to me that’s secondary.
