Read Anything

Those forward thinking guys over at Solaris and Abaddon books are launching a massive campaign that aims to show people that given the huge availability of e-reading devices you can in fact Read Anything. It sounds fantastic and encompasses my feelings perfectly but I think they say it much better than I ever could so without further ado it's over to them:

Ever wanted to read something different but didn't want the world to judge you by the cover of the book?

Spaceships, wizards, hooded swordsman - we love them all. But it's not the cover, it's the insides that matter. So, Solaris and Abaddon books are here to tell you that you can READ ANYTHING.

The revolution in eReaders gives you, the reader, the freedom to read whatever you want - fantasy, science-fiction, horror, urban fantasy, Steampunk, historical action, ANYTHING. They're perfect to explore genre fiction you never knew even existed!

The READ ANYTHING campaign from Solaris and Abaddon Books aims to do away with judging a book, or rather its reader, by its cover. At last, content shall be king with whole new worlds of genre publishing opening up to readers.

Solaris and Abaddon Books are two of the freshest genre publishers in the UK today, producing books that transcend lazy genre clichés. Explore the Steampunk world of Pax Britannia on your iPad, the terrifying sink estate of The Concrete Grove on your Kindle, or soaring SF epics such as The Recollection and The Kings of Eternity.

Solaris and Abaddon don't just release eBooks - we want to provide new and exciting material for readers. Both imprints will:publish every new book as an eBook on multiple platforms on the same day as it sees printspublish the first chapter of every new book online, for free, ahead of publicationpublish selected future titles exclusively as eBooksintroduce new ways to share eBooks with your friends and family.

"The world of genre fiction is as rich and rewarding as anything produced by the publishers of 'literature'," says Jonathan Oliver, editor-in-chief of both Solaris and Abaddon Books. "At Solaris and Abaddon we are committed to providing great fiction in a format to suit the reader. Now with the READ ANYTHING campaign you can jump into the world of genre without worrying what your fellow commuters will think."
