Kindle gets Afrikaans books
Random House Struik, South Africa's leading publishing house, has released an initial selection of Afrikaans books for Kindle, making it the first mainstream publisher to do so.
"We have seen a healthy appetite for our e-books both in South Africa and internationally and are very excited to be able to make both our English and Afrikaans authors' titles available with major international, e-book retailers such as Amazon," said digital director Mark Seabrook. "We are delighted to launch this initial range of Afrikaans titles in e-book format and provide our authors with an international platform."
The initial selection, published by imprints Umuzi and Zebra Press, includes popular titles such as Dwars: Mymeringe van 'n gebleikte Afrikaan by Max du Preez, Steve Hofmeyr's Vier briewe vir Jan Ellis and Mense van my asem, as well as Emma en Nella and 'n Ander ek by EKM Dido.
These e-books can be found through worldwide Amazon Kindle Stores.
