I know, I know... real books look, smell and feel better, etc. etc.

Maybe someone can invent a spray that smells like a book and we can spray it on our kindles. There could be different kinds like brand new hardcover scent, 70's paperback scent and been in a box in my garage scent.

Hola!

I was such a pill when the Kindle came out until I got a tablet. :a11: I have a gazillion free books on my tablet and I love it. I have to say, if I'm going to buy a book...it will be a real book. The smell and feel... :laugh:

(How are y'all doing weather wise? Take care.)
Lol yes the smell. And sometimes u find stuff in old used books. Treasure! Also I'm paranoid to read tablet in the bathtub. Or eat too much food around it. Most of my real books have mustard and beer stains on them lol
Weather is cloudy but worm here in Tulsa Oklahoma.. Actually down the road a bit. Tulsa my home though. Revival yo! The guy gets his heroin at the Tulsa state fair! And bells amusement park really did shut down years ago... I wonder how king figured that out.
Okay I'm really getting off here now to go read blockade Billy! Woot woot!
Have a awesome day everyone!

Some reviews from amazon:

Don't buy. Just a scam writer trying to make a buck off the master. Im really offended when hacks do this kind of stuff to the buying public. Come on amazon get it together.


Format: Kindle Edition
If this is not the REAL Stephen King, how can I trust that Amazon will not try to fool me again! How can the REAL SK allow this? I smell a lawsuit here...both for this fraud and for Amazon. I think the clue here is that the REAL SK never allows his books to be borrowed. Buyers beware!


jds966 Amazon please stop this nonsense! When I click on the "stephen king" who wrote this book, i am put through to the great Stephen King's books!! why?? you must put this in the book description. buyer beware here.....many do this. it is wrong. fix it.



ZERO STARS - UTTER CRAP

Get a life, buddy.


The ONLY reason I am leaving a comment is to help stop sales of this religious crap

I did not buy this, the ONLY reason I am leaving a comment is to help stop sales of this religious crap.
This low-life "author" is obviously deliberately trying to fool people into thinking he's THE Stephen King to push his religion.
So I add my low-rating just because of the fact that I HATE deceptive people...... especially when they are trying to promote their religious agenda through fraud
.

I have read almost, if not everything, ever published by Steven King, and I am completely dumbfounded right now after reading this unbelievably bad rubbish! It is so poorly written, riddled with typos, and with such lame story lines that I'm left wondering if there is another, perhaps talent-less teenager posing as Steven King, the author, that has somehow managed to get published! I only thank God I borrowed this drivel rather than paid for it or would have wasted more than just my time and patience having read it. I hope you, trusting reader, have looked at this review before ordering this insanely bad book so you will not waste either.

I didn't read this book, but I was duped by a "Stephen King" rip-off a few years ago. The book was atrocious. Now I check other sources, including King's webpage, before I buy a King book from Amazon. Why doesn't King do something? Constant Readers and Amazon loyalists deserve better.

What is the crossroads series u guys? I got it. Says 2014 but I've never heard of it? Is it good? I've been checking sk site frequently for past few years but don't recall ever hearing about it. I hope it's not the wrong Stephen king. I remember a long time ago on yahoo Stephen king club sum guy was like look I found this awesome art he did! It reminded of The Road Virus Heads North. It ended up being a painting buy a guy named Steven King. Lol.
So what is crossroads???
I think your thinking of Stephen Leather. Then there's Stephen Silk, Stephen Carpet, Stephen Wax.
