Encyclopaedia Britannica launches App for Windows 8

The Encyclopaedia Britannica App, now available in the Windows Store, provides access to the entire encyclopedia with a sleek and engaging interface, rich illustrations, and special features such as Link Map, a graphical browser that connects interrelated articles in a fun and interactive way. This new digital version of the encyclopedia, the latest in a long line the publisher has created over the past two decades, exemplifies the direction the company is taking today," says Britannica senior vice president Gregory Barlow. "We're mobile, we're digital and we're making knowledge available to people whenever and wherever they need it."
