The Chicago Tribune has an article about two alternative distribution channels for literature: the Chapter-A-Day e-mail service; and Travelman Short Stories, which are being sold as fan-folded sheets from a machine in a London Underground station.
A quote from an American short-story author about the vending machine: "I don\’t think it would work here. So few people read short stories in this country. Selling them in the same way you sell gum or condoms, I don\’t think it would appeal to the same people who read short stories."
