New UK digital store

Or it was news to me anyway...

from an email:

Rebellion Publishing is proud to announce the opening of its brand new digital store – giving you the pick of the freshest genre writing available at the click of a button.

Everything from SF to horror and fantasy to urban fantasy will be available direct from our Solaris and Abaddon Books imprints for the first time, and in both ePub and mobi formats – perfect for anyone with a Kindle or eReader.

You can visit the new store at Rebellionstore.com

The ideal one-stop shop for the 21st century reader, the Rebellion Publishing store offers digital downloads for all our titles with competitive prices, special sales and promotional offers – it’s the perfect place to stock up with winter warmers for the festive season.

Offering Steampunk, SF, fantasy, urban fantasy and horror, the site is easily navigable and each book is categorised in multiple ways. Alternatively, in search of a new read with a strong female lead? Or maybe a good anti-hero? Find what you want quickly with our ‘popular themes’ sections.

And to kick off, not only is there 10% off of all ebooks but, inspired by the lingering chill of Hallowe’en, for this week only all the novels in our Tomes of the Dead zombie series and the Infernal Game series are just £2 each!

“The Rebellion Store is your one-stop digital shop for all that very best in genre,” said Jonathan Oliver, editor-in-chief of Solaris and Abaddon Books, “and a great place to find bargains.”

I don't see anything about DRM-free but "will be available direct from our Solaris and Abaddon Books imprints for the first time, and in both ePub and mobi formats – perfect for anyone with a Kindle or eReader" certainly has to make me wonder about that. Or perhaps it's a misprint?

All Kindle-compatible MOBIs sold outside the Kindle store must be DRM-free, so the ePubs probably are as well.

I would like to buy from them, but their login requirements are way to intrusive. There is no reason for an ebook store to know my date of birth or my phone number.

I think the store must have gone down, I keep getting a Linux Red Hat test page being displayed when I click on the link.

orlok · 11-12-2011, 07:33 AM

I have the same error.

I presume this is the same Rebellion that produced the Judge Dredd comics and games? Can't seem to get into their site, though rebellion.co.uk does show a site under development with game adverts.

ghostyjack · 11-12-2011, 08:05 AM

Yep, it's the same firm.

I popped onto Abaddon Books site (the publisher site for most of their books) and left them a message about it.

Hopefully it wont take them wrong to fix it.

I promise there was a store there when I posted the link.

It's a retail store for the Solaris and Abaddon imprints.

ghostyjack · 11-12-2011, 08:33 AM

Well we'll just have to wait for them to fix it.

Maybe the demand at the store was so great it crashed on us?

Can't wait to check out the store to see what they have as I've read a few of the Pax Britannia and loved them.

hardgainer · 11-13-2011, 06:05 AM

what a shame... i am getting same sort of error...

ghostyjack · 11-14-2011, 07:44 AM

Yay! The sites back!

I got a response from Rebellion when I mailed the Abaddon site, I got a response say that they had "a bit of a technical glitch". Whatever it was, they seem to have fixed it.

I confirmed via email today that all of the ebooks at https://www.rebellionstore.com/ are DRM-free. w00t!

ghostyjack · 12-06-2011, 05:43 AM

Yep, I've bought a couple now and they and 100% completely DRM-free.

John Bailey · 12-28-2011, 10:02 PM

Great.
Another book store I can buy from. Count me in as a new customer.

Nice! Guess they go in the next article, and on the list!

Blue Tyson · 12-28-2011, 10:13 PM

Checking, they sell at Amazon, too - at pretty good prices here - is it just their own store DRM free, anyone know? Given they are pounds not dollars and so cost a bit more I am guessing it is just their own?

Well, this book of theirs has "Simultaneous Device Usage: Unlimited" in the description, which is Amazon's obscure code for "DRM-free"
