 Eason & Son has launched a new eBook store on its website Eason.ie. The company has created a new top level category for eBooks beside Books, Stationery and Bestsellers.

The store, which went live last week, was announced publicly on the Eason Book Club Facebook page. The store offers a range of titles from new releases to classics, a Best of Irish Section and includes some of the Top 50 Books Of The Noughties as voted by Eason Book Club Members.

Both Penguin Ireland and Transworld Ireland have titles in the store.

Prices range from around €8 up to nearly €30 and individual books appear to be priced close to the same price as their physical world counterparts. For instance Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father is priced at €11.10 in ebook and on special value at €9.99 in paperback.

Eason has been selling Sony eReader devices for some time and these are also available for sale in the new ebook section.
