The Future of the Book
The Future of the Book. from IDEO on Vimeo.
Global design consultants IDEO have created three different book interfaces that would work with a tablet computer. The experimental concepts explore how technology can influence the way we interact with books through discussion, social networking and constructing a community around the content.
I find these solutions to be intriguing to say the least. If technology can find a way to get people (myself included) into reading longer form writings, I'm all for it. I also see this as a plausible precursor to the e-newspaper of the future.

love this! i've even found reading on my ipod touch pretty enjoyable. it fits in my pocket so i love having a book anywhere. eg. can read in a doctor's waiting room instead of the crap magazines they have. in such a busy world, it's hard to find time or have the discipline to relax and read daily for more than 30 minutes... works for me--though may be on a faster track to getting glasses
