True to its pioneering spirit Collins is launching 40 eBooks this summer for a range of eBook readers including Kindle and iPad. Collins is also famous for innovating the first illustrated dictionaries (1840s), the Gem dictionary (1902), and the world’s first language database, the Collins Corpus (1987).
The first selection offers eBook versions of English and bilingual reference books from the bestselling and acclaimed Easy Learning series, perfect for students and anyone wishing to improve their language skills. It also includes ePhrasebooks which enable travellers to look up whatever they need to find on their Kindles and iPads, and two Scrabble eBooks comprising tips and advice by top international players which help Scrabble fans to better their scores and game-plans.

Alex Brown, Head of Digital at Collins Language, said “We felt ease of use was particularly important for people using eBooks to learn languages. We took a close look at eBook page design, navigation and searchable content, and I’m really pleased with the results. A truly user-friendly experience for language learners on both Kindle and iPad. It's our aim to make our books and Apps available for the widest possible range of devices and customers. We’ve got a fantastic list of eBooks, Apps and websites launching in the rest of 2011 – watch this space!”
