Amazon Has Reinvented Crack

The New Amazon Shorts online market is a threat to global productivity and should be outlawed immediately! I bought and read two stories over lunch and had to be forcibly restrained or risk buying more, missing work and ending up a happy, literate bum. Stay away while you still can!

From the site:

Amazon Shorts are never-before-seen short works from a wide variety of well-known authors, available only on Amazon.com. Try a new genre or a new author--there's something for everyone. Amazon Shorts are:

* New short-form literature from top authors for only 49 cents
* Delivered electronically; there are no printed editions
* Yours forever after purchase; save or print and read at your convenience
