The future of books?

Assalaamu’alaikum Warahmat’ullah

There are interesting developments going on in digital media all the time, but right now, books and magazines moving into the digital space is a great area of interest.

With the upcoming launch of Apple’s iPad, there finally looks like there will be a viable platform for consuming content like this is a new and accessible way. Below is a video of a Penguin Books presentation, featuring demos of some books they will be launching on Apple’s new device.

 

 

Some interesting ideas, but I think still quite limited compared to what could potentially be possible on this platform. So, what would you like to see on the ipad? Interactive children’s books? or, something new and completely different?

Let us know insha’Allah. Wassalaamu’alaikum Warahmat’ullahposted by Faruq
