Get your eBooks from.. the supermarket

Did you, my friend, know that Sainsburys do eBooks? No. No. Neither did I.

I just go in there for some apples and my special cream.

Now there’s a whole new website on http://ift.tt/12gchyS filled with the things, and you can either take a preview or go to the relevant app and do your shopping that way. They have an app for Apple iOS devices, Android phones and tablets or Windows 8 devices… which sadly doesn’t mean Windows Phone.

The site includes a blog and a book club, plus you can use Nectar points to buy books.

EBOOKS BY SAINSBURY’S GETS A FRESH NEW LOOK

· New website offers slicker, faster user experience

· Users can buy books directly using their Nectar points

· New blog will feature exclusive content from authors and illustrators

Today eBooks by Sainsbury’s, the home of eBook content from Sainsbury’s, has relaunched its website.

The new site, built in-house, features the complete catalogue alongside a redesigned user experience.

Besides a new user-friendly layout, eBooks by Sainsbury’s now has tons of new features. The site contains: a book club allowing readers to share their thoughts on the book of the week; new collections, such as the books everyone is talking about; and a blog offering exclusive content, such as behind-the-scenes interviews with authors and much, much more.

A Place for Booklovers

Books are at the heart of the new site. A brand-new blog will provide readers with inspiration and insight into their favourite titles with special author and illustrator Q&A’s. Another exciting addition, the eBooks by Sainsbury’s Book Club gives readers the chance to share their literary passions with friends, family and workmates – with a new book each week.

There are also oodles of new collections to keep readers engaged and inspired. A bespoke bestsellers list – built entirely using data from eBooks by Sainsbury’s users – displays in real time the most popular authors and books in each genre. While another fresh addition, the books everyone’s talking about, features the titles making the headlines as well as seasonal and topical recommendations.

No Cash Required

The new interface also includes a Nectar ‘one click’ instant buy option where users can buy books directly using their Nectar points. Readers will be able to collect points as they shop boosting their Nectar points balance and their digital library at the same time.

With so many new features to pack in, regular users can be assured that the website will continue to feature the same great new releases, regular price drops on selected titles, and compatibility with all e-reading devices except Amazon’s Kindle.

Sharon Nightingale, Head of Commercial, eBooks by Sainsbury’s, said:
“The new website makes it easier for readers to share book recommendations and find their favourite authors. Every update is designed to make this process simpler, quicker and more enjoyable. Just like a favourite book, the new site is easy to pick up, immersive and fun.”
