Books in the
Age of the iPad
Formless and definite
and the shape of our future book.
— Craig Mod
Print is dying.
Digital is surging.
Everyone is confused.
This essay takes a look at where printed books stand in respect to digital publishing, why we historically haven't read long-form text on screens and how the iPad is wedging itself in the middle of everything. In doing so I think we can find the line in the sand to define when content should be printed or digitized.
This is a conversation for books-makers, web-heads, content-creators, authors and designers. For people who love beautifully made things. And for the storytellers who are willing to take risks and want to consider the most appropriate shape and media for their yarns.
