DAVE BRAUND-PHILLIPS: CFZ's first-ever eBook goes on sale

Today is a very important day for publishing at the CFZ: today is the day our very first ebook goes on sale. It is the start of almost the entire CFZ Press catalogue going digital. As we have done in this first book, we will do our best in all the books to include all the brilliantly illustrated pictures, drawings and text as if you were reading the paper copy.

And what a brilliant book to start with, our very first ebook is "Green, Unpleasant, Land" - a brilliant book of 18 short horror stories by our very own Director of Zoology Richard Freeman.

Currently the ebooks will be for sale all over the world via the Amazon Kindle store but this does not restrict the books to Kindle devices only; it can be viewed on any device allowing access to a Amazon Kindle account. Only this morning I was reading the book on my Motarola Xoom2. Expansion into the Android Play Store is imminent and you will certainly get a new post for me when that happens.

We have also given the ebooks a significant reduction in price. This first book, "Green, Unpleasant, Land," can be purchased in Kindle form from the link below for just £5.14 in the UK. We intended this size of book to be £4.99 - however, the frustrating powers that be have deemed that digital books deserve the addition of VAT, thanks guys!

Regardless of that, you can look forward in the next few months to seeing lots of your favourite CFZ Press books available in digital. I would like to think by this year's New and very Exciting Weird Weekend - http://www.weirdweekend.org/ you will not only have a chance to buy paper copies of the CFZ Press book collection but will also have access to many of those books in digital form.

I hope you're as excited as I am.
