A recent announcement from Auckland University Press alerted me to the fact that they are publishing their lists as e-books. What is more – some are available free through our OverDrive collection. A quick look at OverDrive revealed other New Zealand publishers also getting in on the act like Random House New Zealand.
So e-book readers can get a taste of Paul Cleave (Blood men) or some really great non-fiction like Chris Bourke’s Blue smoke or the Marti Friedlander autobiography.
Other goodies include Fiona Farrell’s The broken book, Barry Gustafson’s biography of Rob Muldoon His way and the Jean Devanny classic The butcher shop.
Whatever you think of e-books, they are here to stay and it is great that our OverDrive collection can provide free access to some great New Zealand books, as well as the many best selling overseas titles we have.
