Zondervan to Publish More Than 1,000 Christian
Titles for iPad Launch
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich/PRNewswire/ -- To accompany the
long-awaited iPad launch, Zondervan is one of the first publishers to
release titles in Apple's iBookstore beginning Saturday, April 3, 2010.
More than 1,000 titles will be available for download from all product
groups. Zondervan plans to release all its future ebooks in an iPad
version and is working to release more than 150 additional books in the
next three months.
Users will be able to purchase the books from Apple's iBookstore, as
well as read excerpts, reviews and additional details about Zondervan
books and its authors. Unlike other ebook versions, the iPad compatible
ebooks feature full color artwork.
"As a division of HarperCollins, we are fortunate to play a major
part in the iPad launch," said Steve Sammons, Executive Vice President
of Consumer Engagement. "We are excited that by this Easter, Zondervan's
titles will be available to an even broader audience."
Among the 1,000+ books offered are three translations of the Holy
Bible. New releases including The Christian Atheist by Craig Groeschel
and Take Three by Karen Kingsbury will be available along with a
selection of classic Zondervan titles, including bestsellers like The
Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren and The Case for Christ by Lee
Strobel. All titles, including more than 30 Spanish and 150 children's
books, will be available for download starting April 3.
To celebrate, Zondervan will launch a social media campaign giving
away fifty $10 iTunes gift cards for use in the iBookstore through
Twitter and Facebook. Follow Zondervan on Twitter at
