On 2 December, Enhanced Editions’ co-founder Peter Collingridge led a seminar in Moscow, entitled “Digital Innovation in Publishing”, as part of a joint collaboration between the British Council, the Academia Rossia, the Federal Agency for Press and Mass Communications, and The London Book Fair.
Peter spoke for about thirty minutes on three topics:
- “The 21st Century Landscape in Publishing”: observations on the current environment
- “The 21st Century Publishing House”: what we think a digital publishing house looks like
- “The 21st Century reader”: insights from our user analytics
before being interviewed by Vladimir Kharitonov , who recently wrote up the exchange (in Russian).
The talk is reproduced below in full.

Enhanced Editions’ The Death of Bunny Munro app was the first ever ebook submission for the D&AD design awards earlier this year, and it almost made it to the judging stage, but it wasn’t to be. To show there are no hard feelings, on Wednesday 26 May Enhanced Editions co-founder Peter Collingridge will be speaking at D&AD’s inaugural Sharp’ner event, which aims to bring publishers and designers together to “explore the future of books and book design alongside current and dream projects.” Peter will talk about the design decisions made during the early stages of development, the challenge of creating an invisible design, and the complex synergy that exists between design, user experience and reading. You can buy tickets from the D&AD online shop.
If you can’t make the Sharp’ner event, or you want to “try before you buy”, check out Peter’s keynote address from this year’s Tools of Change conference, and his “Fail Harder” pecha kucha from last year’s London Book Fair
You may have noticed that we’ve had a number of titles marked as “Coming Soon” on this site, one of which was David Eagleman’s wildly popular Sum: Tales from the Afterlives. This wonderfully complex little book is now available in the App Store, and we hope you’ll agree with us that it was well worth the wait. To make up for keeping you in suspense all this time, we’ve dropped the price from £9.99 to £4.99 for two weeks only! Read more →
