Maclife magazine app

It just takes time and the creative juices start flowing. We are now beginning to see some digital magazines that are starting to advantage of the new medium that is provided by the iPad.

MacLife just came out with a free digital version of its paper magazine, but it includes video segments, Twitter, facebook and email tools, as well as live ratings of articles, so you can see what others think about the same articles you are reading. The navigation is also well done, and the tutorial at the beginning will help you get started.

Currently, prices are still high for most of these interactive magazines. Over time, however, I think we will see prices drop. I still like zinio, which is a magazine reader, and has some great subscription prices. The interactivity still needs work though.

Things will only get better...

Inkling - McGraw-Hill - Raven Biology 9th Edition

So the direct link to that biology book in the last article has a nice video intro here. I'm going to download the free version just to get a feel for the concept.

I think we're still a ways off in that regard but I do know publishers are actively developing for the iPad. They see the profit potential. And cost savings, since some of their largest expense is in shipping and storage.

I agree.  Are there textbooks available for all subjects and grade levels to make this feasible?  Les
