Pan Macmillan has launched a series of six e-books on the iBookstore in time for Christmas purchases, including titles by Jeffrey Archer and Richmal Crompton.
Two new stories by David Hewson and Kate Kerrigan have been written specifically for the series, titled Short Reads.
Digital director Sara Lloyd said: "Our Short Reads series is an example of everything that is exciting about digital publishing . . . [It] is a simple but perfectly formed, well-targeted concept, delivered at a key moment in the e-book market's development."
Marketing director Becky Ikin said: "Our Short Reads provide a great way to experience reading a book for the first time on an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Each Short Read offers fantastic content from our authors at a price and format that we hope will encourage sampling. They are also a great reading fix for fans of the featured authors!"
The Short Reads are available for 99p on the iBookstore, for all digital platforms.
