Penguin US launches digi-novel
With book sales nationwide languishing under a petrificus totalus curse since last summer's final Harry Potter installment and e-books and Amazon's groundbreaking Kindle failing to ignite more than a weak blaze of interest, Dutton, an imprint of Penguin books, thinks they've got the answer--the digi-novel, notes the Book Examiner.
Dutton has signed up with Anthony Zuiker, the creator of the C.S.I. television juggernaut, for exclusive worldwide rights to Zuiker's new three book multimedia series set for release in fall 2009. Dutton has dubbed the series the world's first digi-novels because readers will need to read the book, view clips, and participate online in order to complete the story.
