Penguin to publish new titles as ebooks

Publishing house Penguin said today that it plans to publish new titles simultaneously in ebook, or electronic, format from this autumn in response to signs of growing reader demand for digital books.
The publisher, owned by UK media group Pearson, said titles from its flagship Penguin division, from its travel books collection and from the Dorling Kindersley brand will be available on its website and from digital retailers from September.
The ebooks will come out at the same time as the print edition and will cost the same.
The publisher is already working on turning its 5,000 title Penguin backlist into ebooks for publication this year and next.
