She said: “I can’t think of a better author to launch this kind of new publishing – Stephen himself represents everything that we hold dear and value in Britain, yet at the same time has an extraordinary knowledge and love of cutting-edge technology.”

The app, which can be used on an iPhone, iPad or iPod, allows readers to skip through the book using colour coded categories while the eBook includes eight videos.
