In contrast, The New York Times' Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, who read the book in both available online formats (computer download and an e-book supplied by the publisher, neither of which permitted a user to print out a copy), was more critical. He disliked reading digital content on a backlit monitor ("I was also restlessly aware of the unusual effort it was taking to read onscreen") and the book's content ("after getting off to such a strong start, Mr. King writes himself into a corner that makes Alan's scary adventure seem something of a shaggy dog story"). He concludes: "reading 'Riding the Bullet,' I sorely missed the solidity of good old print on paper. And who knows, maybe old-fashioned print would have made Mr. King's story seem a little more substantial?"[9]

The Worldwide Digital Group is also working to ensure that Amazon.com customers enjoy a best-of-breed digital download experience across categories. This includes leveraging its leading technology platform and expertise to offer a broad selection of titles, authors and artists -- with a suite of exclusive titles and content -- to its more than 30 million media-buying customers. In addition, Amazon.com will continue to offer the most simple and easiest-to-use digital technology and payment systems available online.
The company first tested e-books in March 2000 when it worked with Simon & Schuster to offer customers free downloads of Stephen King's Riding the Bullet. The promotion was so successful that Amazon.com joined King for a second download in July 2000. In an ambitious publishing experiment, monthly installments of The Plant were made available for download at www.stephenking.com. King asked his readers to pay $1 for each installment on the honor system and selected Amazon.com to provide a secure, easy-to-use online payment method. More than 100,000 readers paid more than $700,000 to Mr. King via the Amazon Honor System. In June 2000, Amazon.com and Audible, Inc., (Nasdaq:ADBL) partnered, allowing customers to purchase and download from Amazon.com more than 22,000 hours of digital audio content, including audiobooks, entertainment and comedy, audio newspapers, magazines, business information, speeches, lectures and public radio programs.
Amazon.com is also rolling out digital content in other categories. In October 2000 it partnered with Ofoto, Inc., a premier online photography service, to offer customers digital photography through its new Camera & Photo store (www.amazon.com/photo). In February it introduced a dedicated Software Downloads store, making it more convenient for customers to purchase popular software programs -- like TurboTax from Intuit (Nasdaq:INTU) -- and download them directly to their computers from Amazon.com.
