Penguin Books India has launched an app for Nokia and iPhone users. It is a mobile portal for information on all books published and represented by Penguin Books India. The app is free and can be viewed on mobile screens of all sizes. The app presents information on books that are ‘Just Released’ and ‘Bestsellers’. Books that are labeled ‘Coming Soon’ have excerpts that can be viewed only within the app. There’s also a news section, which has the latest ongoings in the publishing world and an events section where you can check out events in your city. The ‘Stay Connected’ section takes you to Penguin updates on Facebook, Twitter, as well as its YouTube videos.

Check out books and excerpts via the Penguin India app
The app showcases all of Penguin’s fiction and non-fiction books, which means you can use the app to find books from business and management, politics and current affairs and memoirs, to fun, feisty Metro Reads, MindBodySpirit books, books for children and young adults and Penguin’s Hindi books.
Paddy does not, we repeat, definitely does NOT belong in the category of Mac-head (yeh right!). She does get excited by her iPhone and her iMac and her iPod Nano and her Macbook and Bali's iPad and her future iHouse (patent pending). Ok, so maybe her head is a little bit forbidden fruit shaped. She likes shooting video (iPhone 4 camera zindabad!) and editing montages (Final Cut Pro zindabad!), whether the scene calls for it or no. In her spare time, she's either kicking it on stage with KB the keyboard or kicking butt at Taekwondo.
