Kindles and iPads at the ready: we're launching e-books
Today we are launching versions of seven of our most popular publications for e-readers. Topping the bill of the new e-books is Mummy's Lump (BCC164), an award winning picture book that helps parents with children under seven explain what is happening when their mother is diagnosed with breast cancer.
The e-book is narrated by actress Zoë Wanamaker and can be downloaded free from our website in a new read-along format for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. More than 18,000 copies of the illustrated book have been distributed since its launch in 2008.
Other titles that we are releasing in this format are:
- Living with lymphoedema (BCC5)
- Menopausal symptoms and breast cancer (BCC18)
- Radiotherapy for primary (early) breast cancer (BCC 26)
- Diet and breast cancer (BCC98)
- Your operation and recovery (BCC151)
- Breast pain (BCC71)
They are free and easy to download. Simply go to the publications order page and click on the link for the type of e-reader you own. Once it has downloaded, you may need to copy the file from your computer on to your e-reader. We also have a page with further help in the publications section of the website.
In the future when we update our clinical factsheets and booklets we will also aim to release them as e-books in order to expand the number of publications available in this format.
