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.”The Britannica app is free to download from the Windows Store. Free content includes 100 top articles and engaging special features such as This Day in History. Access to the full contents of the encyclopedia is available for $14.99 (U.S.) annually.
