iBooks: A 21st-Century Reading Experience



Having never fallen in love with the Kindle - or any electronic book reader, for that matter - I'm surprised by just how affected I am by this guided tour of the Apple iPad's iBooks feature.

For the first time, I get the sense that reading a digital book with the iPad will not only preserve 95% of the positive aspects associated with reading a regular book, but will also expand the reading experience in ways that would never be possible with a regular book.

And that is precisely what consumers should expect from an electronic media reader (whether for books, newspapers, or magazines): all the integrity of the printed version + all the potential of the digital universe.
