Angry Robot Books is to launch Nano Editions, short stories in digital format to be sold through the publisher's online shop, angryrobotstore.com.

Stories will cost 59p, with customers able to buy a collection of any 10 for £3.49. The service will be launched on 1st December, with at least 30 Nano Editions and more to be added at regular intervals. The files will be DRM-free and without territory restrictions. If demand is high enough, Angry Robot plans to sell the editions through other e-book retailers.

Editor Lee Harris said: "Publishing is changing, but our role as publishers remains the same—to find cool stories and bring them to readers. This is another step in Angry Robot's ongoing plan to embrace the new opportunities digital formats provide—and an excellent way for readers to sample unfamiliar authors, without breaking the bank."
