Amazon announced today that Odyssey Editions – a new imprint of The Wylie Agency – will be publishing 20 iconic books from the publisher’s backlist.  This is the first time that these titles have been published digitally, and they will be exclusive to the Kindle Store for two years.

The 20 ebooks from Odyssey Editions:

  • "London Fields" by Martin Amis
  • "The Adventures of Augie March" by Saul Bellow
  • "Ficciones" (Spanish Edition) by Jorge Luis Borges
  • "Junky" by William Burroughs
  • "The Stories of John Cheever" by John Cheever
  • "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison
  • "Love Medicine" by Louise Erdrich
  • "The Naked and the Dead" by Norman Mailer
  • "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov
  • "The Enigma of Arrival" by V.S. Naipaul
  • "The White Castle" by Orhan Pamuk
  • "Portnoy’s Complaint" by Philip Roth
  • "Midnight’s Children" by Salman Rushdie
  • "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" by Oliver Sacks
  • "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" by Hunter S. Thompson
  • "Rabbit Run" by John Updike
  • "Rabbit Redux" by John Updike
  • "Rabbit is Rich" by John Updike
  • "Rabbit at Rest" by John Updike
  • "Brideshead Revisited" by Evelyn Waugh

These titles are available at the Kindle Storenow for $9.99.

This is a nice step in the right direction.  All publishers should be publishing their backlists digitally.  Physical stores can only stock so many pbooks on their shelves, and this is a way for publishers and authors to be making money from their backlists and out-of-print titles, as well as providing readers with easy access to these books.
