Are you a bartender? Do you love learning? Do you have one of those fancy phones or pads or Kindle doohickeys? Well do we have news for you.
The wonderfully lovely folk over at Mixellany have launched some of their most popular books on iTunes and Amazon (for Kindle).
Anistatia Miller from Mixellany gave us an insight into the thinking behind this move:
‘We wanted reach more people with our books and give our readers an opportunity to search for a particular subject or recipe on the spot. Digital devices such as Kindle, iPad, and iPhone make that possible. It’s instant delivery and instant gratification at a very affordable price. Then they can keep their books neat and safe at home.’
She certainly isn’t kidding about the affordable price with the iTunes books ringing in at £2.99 and the Amazon books starting at £2.49. That much knowledge at that price hasn’t been seen since Darwin’s famous On the Origins of Species Christmas giveaway of 1861.
If you haven’t got a fancy iPad or Kindle we did some quick maths on the back of match box and reckon if you plan on buying 6 of the books below doing so on the Amazon Kindle store will save you enough money to buy a Kindle right there. Clever huh?
A full list of the books available and links to iTunes and Amazon for instant purchase are below however Mixellany haven’t finished being nice to you lot yet. I told them that you didn’t deserve it but they insisted on giving away 5 free codes of Spirituous Journey: A History of Drink Volume One on iTunes.
