As signalled by the beautiful blue icons that have just appeared over there (→) in the sidebar, two new Enhanced Editions, both by Barack Obama, are available now in the App Store.

Written long before he started down the road to the Presidency, Dreams From My Father is a refreshing, revealing portrait of a young man asking the big questions about identity and belonging.

The son of a black African father and a white American mother, Obama recounts an emotional odyssey. He retraces the migration of his mother’s family from Kansas to Hawaii, then to his childhood home in Indonesia. Finally he travels to Kenya, where he confronts the bitter truth of his father’s life and at last reconciles his divided inheritance.

‘This may be the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician.’
Joe Klein, Time

In The Audacity of Hope, Barack Obama discusses the importance of empathy in politics, his hopes for a different America with different policies, and how the ideals of democracy can be renewed.

With intimacy and self-deprecating humour, Obama describes his experiences as a politician, about balancing his family life and his public vocation.

‘Offers readers on this side of the Atlantic a window not just into the mind of one of America’s most exciting politicians but into the political landscape of the post-Bush era.’ David Lammy, Guardian

As with Bunny Munro, both these apps feature the highest quality of design and typesetting, including control of type size and font, night mode, tilt scroll and many other features.

Both apps are available in the App Store now.

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

No comments

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

No comments

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.
