Risking the inevitable media onslaught of burning--or, more accurately, noncombustible--metaphors, Simon & Schuster released the first e-book edition of Ray Bradbury's classic Fahrenheit 451 yesterday, USA Today reported. The novel has sold 10 million print copies and been translated into 33 languages. Simon & Schuster's Jonathan Karp called the digital venture a "wonderful opportunity" to bring the novel "to new generation of readers and in new formats."
