RHNZ launches the Random House New Books App for iPad

			New app helps readers decide what to read next Random House New Zealand is pleased to announce the Random House New Books App for iPad and iPhone is now available on the App Store.  The new app will introduce readers to new books and features twelve guaranteed good reads, allowing book lovers to sample the first chapter before buying the book through the iBookstore. Choosing which book to read can be a hard decision for many book buyers given the challenge of a myriad of book choices coupled with limited budgets and time constraints.  Readers want to be assured of a good read and the Random House app for iPad will help make this decision easier. Readers can explore authors they may have heard of but weren’t willing to commit to, try prize winning authors that may have sparked their interest or review a book before recommending it to their book group. In addition, they can decide if it will make a good gift for a loved one. Each month the app will update to include new authors and books for readers to trial. There will also be links to author interviews and webpages so readers can find out more about their favourite authors.  The books will also be grouped by genre so they can delve more deeply into their preferred type of book. The Random House New Books app is available for free from the App Store on iPad, iPhone or from iTunes. For more information please contact: Yvonne Thynne, Publicity Manager ythynne@randomhouse.co.nz
