Last month, American writer Stephen King published a new story called"Riding The Bullet". It is about a young man who has to find a way home from college to see his sick mother. Some very scary things happen to him along the way. Critics say it is a pretty good story. But that is not why"Riding The Bullet" has become so famous.

　　The most interesting thin about"Riding the Bullet" is that you can only read it on a computer. The story will never be published on paper like a traditional book. Interested readers could not print a copy of it. They had to read it on their computer screens, in electronic form. So publishers call such writing"e - books".
