Missing Ink and Eucalyptus go Galactic with five Hitchhiker's eBook apps

In conjunction with our production partners, Things Made Out Of Other Things, and their Eucalyptus reader, we are delighted to announce the launch of all five of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books as eBook apps for the iPhone.

Pan Macmillan is celebrating thirty years of planet-hopping comic genius with the publication of special editions of Douglas Adams’ iconic books.

Each ebook, specifically designed for the iPhone, features

  • The full novel, which feels like reading a book, not a web page, with page turning so natural you won’t even notice it, thanks to the fabulous Eucalyptus reader.
  • High quality fonts and typesetting to provide the optimal reading experience, meaning you can get lost in the story, not frustrated by the text.
  • Resizing text with a pinch of your fingers at any time.
  • Exclusive material from the Pan Macmillan archive.
  • Links to purchase paperback versions, the other ebook apps, radio scripts and audio books

 'Enhanced' version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

A further version of the App will be released in October allowing you to upgrade for free, with even more archive material including audio clips, historic book covers and radio script excerpts.

'In-app purchasing' versions

Also accompanying the enhanced upgrade to book one, in October, we will be enabling in-app purchasing in all five ebooks, allowing readers to purchase and download directly, and so grow their Hitchhiker's ebook collection.

We are obviously (ahem) over the moon, about our launch of these special ebook editions and we are looking forward to publishing many more digital titles in the future.
