Pynchon eBook Trailer

[Iris Sirius]

As I sit here tapping my fingers, watching the downloaded-bar inch across
its archaic machination, incepting, little by little, waveafterwave,
uselessly distracted now from actual work, another day shot to hell, god
what a way to ruin a career, cap it off with Prometheus, I was dwelling on
Pynchon gone all e on the world, something his rep at ePenguin said to the
inquiring reporter, that the guy did it, he caved on the e, because like
all writers he wants more and evermore readers?

Is that for real.  Or am I dreaming it.  That's a serious literature person
at ePenguin's considered opinion of why he went e?  He thought, my next
book will be 1500 pages, but if it's on e so I'll get more readers for it--
