The Kobos have arrived!

The eReaders are in the store and the "green button" for eBooks is now live on our website. 

Kobo offers apps for iOS, Android, Mac/PC, and Blackberry — and Adobe Digital Editions download — for reading on Nook, Sony Reader, iPad, Kobo, etc. You can read digitally and still support your local, independent bookstore, choosing titles ranging from New York Times best sellers to our current staff picks and holiday recommendations. 

Kobo is not yet a common name here though they have experience with independent bookstores in 190 countries! A complete line of eBooks from all major publishers are available. Kobo currently has more than 2.5 million available eBooks in its catalog with new titles are being added continuously. And Kobo offers first-class customer support!

While printed books will remain our primary focus, we hope you will share our excitement and enthusiasm as we move further into the digital age with you!

Note, though we are no longer partnering with Google, you still have access to all of the Google ebooks in your library. 

- Liza & Penny & the avid readers at the Norwich Bookstore

+++

Our good friends, Lisa Christie (who works at most of the Norwich Bookstore author events) and Lisa Cadow (who worked as a bookseller prior to moving to France for a stretch) have a wonderful blog for readers, The Book Jam.

We partner with them to get to know the authors who are speaking at the bookstore and in the Upper Valley through "3 Questions" - interviews that are posted on the blog just prior to the events.

The Norwich Bookstore has been a vibrant member of the Upper Valley community since 1994, offering a thoughtful selection of books, toys, games, cards, gift-wrap, and other treasures for curious minds.

Keeping current with the times, the Norwich Bookstore now offers eBooks through its ever expanding website, norwichbookstore.com. Gift cards purchased at the store or on-line may be used toward electronic books for your iPad or Nook, as well print books or items in the store.

The Norwich Bookstore continually works with many local schools and supports numerous not-for-profit arts and service organizations through discounts, fund-raising, and donations. Our Book Angel program runs mid-November to mid-December and delivers holiday books to over 300 under-served children in the region.

Hosting frequent author events is one of the most exciting parts of the Norwich Bookstore’s mission to provide a place for writers and readers to gather. In addition to the eclectic lineup of speakers in the store, we enjoy partnering with others such as Dartmouth College and the Center for Cartoon Studies to bring authors to the area.

The dozen or so booksellers at the Norwich Bookstore are omnivorous readers across a broad range of subjects including fiction, mystery, biography, adventure, gardening, cooking, and of course, children’s literature.

(Just two miles from the Dartmouth Green, and less than one mile from the exit 13 on I91, the Norwich Bookstore is easy to reach and parking is free.)
