Bradbury had previously made no secret of his disdain for eBooks and the Internet, so is this a case of an old dog learning new tricks or was the price right?
Or was he hesitant because he completely missed the mark and placed paper books in the novel’s digital future?

Some time ago we mentioned Book Country at Penguin USA, and were justifiably reluctant to climb aboard a ‘pay-to-play’ eBook publishing service in a marketplace that offers many free and potentially lucrative opportunities (like Amazon Kindle Publishing and Smashwords).
