Hi, and some questions

[OneofKingDevoteesJP]

Hi, I'm a light fan or some says devotee of King's novels and movies in Japan.
Reading english books with android kindle first time late few weeks, and first one is King's of course, so I'd like to know about novels edition and publishers.
My first choice was "The Dead Zone".
In amazon.co.jp I could choose Signet 1980 with 612 pages or Hodder & Stoughton 2010 with 420 pages. I chose Signet because '80s was my youth and seemed the latter was digest edition.
I set my mind the next one was "Firestarter". But there are two editions again, Signet 1980 with 416 pages and Hodder & Stoughton 2010 with 580 pages.
Signet is shorter!! Which do you recommend?

Welcome to the site. I am not very familiar with the electronic versions so I will leave this question to somebody else more qualified to answer.

Go for the longer one. More SK is always better.

...a lot of this seems to do with electronic page size and font used...it has nothing to do with more or less material....

Font? Is it logical? I don't think page count is equivalent to font size in ebooks. Maybe it's equivalent to number of characters include CR/LF code. CR/LF reflects spaces of page in a measure.
I know some authors revise their works with editionalizing paperback publishing more than once in Japan. So I guess S.King did it.
I don't know he has declared not to revise his works though... I don't think it's bad to revise his works too.

P.S.
Revising works I know is in some thespian art by Kohei Tsuka. Course, you don't know his name
Regardless of his own definitive edition published before his death, I love one edition of his work 30 years ago.
Sort of obsessiveness can happen everywhere.

Can you get the printed versions of his books, only translated into Japanese?
Oh wait - you are reading in English - I wish I could send you some of my extra copies!

...I have never found any of his e-books to have been edited...I still maintain it's a matter of how it translates to the electronic format....

Welcome, OneofKingDevoteesJP!

Good morning!
I'll choose longer one tentatively. Thanks everyone.

 

[Kurben]

Shouldn't matter. As far i know he hasn't revised that book so the book is the same. I'm with the Giant on this one. Oh, and welcome by the way....
