Written for Kindle - UR tells us the story of Wesley Smith - college professor at a mediocre school in Kentucky who buys a Kindle so he can understand this new method of reading. Except - Wesley’s Kindle is pink - and Wesley’s Kindle can take him to URs that present an alternative universe. A world where Ernest Hemingway lived longer - or - William Shakespeare wrote two additional plays - or - Kennedy was not dead - or - the Cuban Missle crisis became a true crisis - and life on earth ended. 
Wesley, his office mate and Robbie - the student who introduced him to the Kindle explore these different worlds. Including one that has the college basketball team members dying in a horrific accident due to a drunk driver. 
What would you do if you could read the future in your Kindle?
