Enhanced Editions’ founders to speak at Tools of Change 19/02/10
Both Peter Collingridge and Rhys Cazenove have been invited to speak at O’Reilly’s prestigious conference.
Peter will be giving the first keynote address of the conference, on Tuesday at 8:45am EST / 1:45pm GMT, in which he will address some of the crucial issues affecting the publishing industry today, such as the relevance and value of books in a digital landscape, the challenges involved in tailor-making digital books, and why he believes publishers need to solve such technical problems, as opposed to technologists solving publishing problems.
He will also be turning a critical eye on Enhanced Editions, breaking down and analyzing the inception of the business, the mistakes made along the way, and the pitfalls and anxieties of developing for the App Store.
For the first time, O’Reilly will be streaming all of the keynote speeches online. If you can’t make it to the conference this will be a great way to keep your finger on the pulse. Further details TBC.
Rhys Cazenove will be taking part in the first ever Ignite event at TOC, on Tuesday at 4:05pm EST / 9:05pm GMT. Using only 15 slides, which rotate every 20 seconds, Rhys will be giving the publishing industry an analytics wake-up call, showing the integral part that analytics play in forming a digital strategy, and asking why some publishers have been neglecting such figures entirely.

Bunny Munro, our new app featuring the new novel by Nick Cave, has only been in the App Store for a few days, but we’re chuffed to bits to see some great reviews from users already appearing there:
Brilliant 
by jacklouisburns – 6th September 2009
“A fantastic way to really get into a book.”
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.

Free Apps 31/08/09
One 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. (more…)
The Death of Bunny Munro submitted to App store 10/08/09
Sorry for the silence. Have had our heads very very far down.
