Here is the new Kindle 2 in pink, though it’s only available in white. Apparently some marketing genius thought that putting a horridly painted, nonexistent Kindle on Stephen King’s novella UR was really something clever.
Whoa, talk about meta. The WSJ is reporting that the new Kindle, to be announced later today, will include an exclusive work from Stephen King that integrates a “Kindle-like device” within the story.
Here’s a fantastic way to waste enjoy half an hour of your Friday: To coincide with Stephen King’s upcoming short story collection, Just After Sunset, his publishers have teamed with the folks at Marvel to create a online webcomic series of one of stories in the book called ‘N‘.
The series, which consists of 25 separate episodes between 90 seconds and 2 minutes long, will have a new episode released every US weekday until August 29. So far, they’re up to Episode 14, and it’s a catchy little story.
The voice acting is pretty good, although the implementation is a bit annoying – the episodes automatically play in reverse order, and there are video ads that interrupt the clip on occasion. Still – It’s fantastic in typical King fashion, I’ll be watching keenly to see how the story ends.
