Bunny Munro around the World 21/09/09

We thought you might like a sneak peek at the different covers appearing on physical copies of The Death of Bunny Munro all over the world. Many use the Bunny image you’ll be familiar with – although different publishers use it in slightly different ways – but check out Australia, Turkey, Croatia and in particular the Czech Republic for a very different approach!

Enhanced Editions in the Press 10/09/09

We’re really pleased to see some recent and very kind mentions of Enhanced Editions and our new Nick Cave / Bunny Munro app in the press – including some of our favourite blogs:

Wired: Hear Nick Cave Read The Death of Bunny Munro

The multiformat release turns the tables on the traditional roles of reader and writer: In the audiovisual versions, Cave drives your emotions where he wants them to go. Readers get inside his head rather than projecting their own ideas on the work.

Bunny Munro currently still in review 02/09/09

Thanks everyone for your support. Just a quick update.

The Bunny Munro app is currently in review at Apple. We had hoped to clear the process before yesterday’s iTunes podcast and audiobook went live, and before the Guardian ran a piece about Enhanced iPhone books, but haven’t quite made it.

Still, the book officially comes out on September 9th in the UK, and we’re talking to a lot of people at Apple, all of whom are being really helpful, and hope to resolve this really soon.

More info as soon as we have it.

Artists Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard also direct many of The Bad Seeds and Grinderman’s promos. Nick asked them to film his readings for The Death of Bunny Munro – and it turned into something much, much bigger. Here Iain + Jane talk through how the project turned into what may be the most ambitious audiobook yet. Read more →

Feature: Synched Audio and Text 31/08/09

The iPhone is many things beside a phone of course, and what must be the most-used feature is audio – usually music. And audio impinges heavily on the reading experience as well, whether it’s listening to an album while you’re reading, or making the full transition to an audiobook read in a lively and entertaining style. (The audiobook has been around for many years now, from those huge tape packs you used to buy for long car journeys, through CDs to a new lease of life as mp3s from retailers like Audible and iTunes. The fact that audiobooks frequently outsell the hardback edition of many books is a direct but little-quoted challenge to the persistent idea that the physical, paper book is the only “real” way to read.)

Free Apps 31/08/09

Bunny Munro samplerOne of the things we are doing to help promote our apps is to make “lite” versions available for free, so readers can try before they buy. Much like you can in a bookshop. But we also want to include enhancements in the “lite” version, something you can’t do in the bookshop, so here’s what we’re doing. Read more →
