The first of the A&B ebooks!

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Trumpets! Confetti! General jubilation! Congratulate us one and all for Allison & Busby has just put a toe in the digital book waters with the release of five titles as ebooks - all available from Waterstones.com and ebooks.WHSmith.co.uk. The five books are:


Glass Houses by Rachel Caine

Lord of Misrule by Rachel Caine

Mariana by Susanna Kearsley

The Silver Locomotive Mystery by Edward Marston

The Hidden Dance by Susan Wooldridge

I’ve been wrestling with techie terms and ideas for months past in order to make this a reality, but for you, the reader, getting your hands on one of these ebooks is actually very simple. Simply go to your preferred website (Waterstones or WHSmith are the first in on the act) and take advantage of the great prices available.

The recommended programme in which to view the ebook EPUB files on your PC or laptop is called Adobe Digital Editions, which you can download for free and in the blink of an eye here or when prompted at the retailer sites. It is also the recommended ‘library’ in which to store and transfer books to your Sony Reader, should you be lucky enough to have one of those. The EPUB file type, however, should work on any and all devices.
