According to a tweet from one of the five members of the Man Booker judging panel: “We are to be given Kindles for Booker judging so they won’t have to post us tons of real books”.
According to The Age, judges last year had to deal with 138 hardback books. The article goes on to say that publishers had been asked, for the first time, to provide ebooks along with hard copies. Both will be available to the judges.
