January 28, 2013 marks the 200th anniversary of the publication of Jane Austen‘s classic novel Pride and Prejudice. In celebration, Padworx and Quirk Books, the latter of whom published the zombie mash-up Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, are offering up Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Interactive eBook for FREE right now!

The app, which is designed for both iPhone and iPad, is available through the App Store on your device or through iTunes. With this 400-page interactive ebook, which contains hundreds of illustrations and over 200 interactions, you can read both books separately or at the same time! Hold your device right side up for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies; turn it upside down to read the original Pride and Prejudice; turn the device 90 degrees to read both novels side by side.

See below for an illustration showing how the books look through the app, and to watch the trailer for the interactive ebook.

Definitely grab this interactive ebook now while it’s FREE, through the end of the day, Monday, January 28, 2013. Both books are awesome and this is a great way to read them. (You can check out my review of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies from back when it was released in 2009.)
