Rovio's latest IP hammering wheeze is to move into book publishing, having already done video games and soft toys.
Peter Vesterbacka, the marketing chief and “Mighty Eagle” at Rovio, said at the Open Mobile Summit that the firm is in discussions with Amazon, Apple and Barnes & Noble to distribute the book.
He then told mocoNews that Rovio would self-publish the book rather than share back the 90 per cent revenue that traditional publishers demanded.
