Is Patagonia on your bookshelf?
Mention
outdoor clothing company Patagonia and what comes to mind? Jackets! Puffy ones,
fleece ones, waterproof ones -- beloved, long-lasting, favorite ones.
How about
books? That's right. Patagonia has been publishing since 2007. But their
little-known secret is out, as Patagonia Books are now available in digital
form. Readers can now find all 12 titles in digital form at Patagonia.com,
Amazon, BN.com, and iTunes.
eBooks do
right by the environment: same great stories, less environmental harm. That's
why Patagonia has joined the mobile movement.
Great news
for Patagonia-clad readers, since print books don't really travel well.
(Remember Cheryl Strayed in Wild, torching chapters on the trail?)
“Not only do
eBooks have less environmental impact, they are also more portable,” says
Patagonia Books Director Karla Olson. “We know that our audience is often on
the move, and the convenience of having these titles available as eBooks will
enhance their reading experience.”

Congrats to Patagonia on joining the mobile movement although I personally still prefer print books.
