[this is a project that i worked with a US based online magazine publishing solution company, we cinverted the press media to digital version]No matter how technology develops, the crucial part of a successful application is always aligned with users’ behaviors. I saw lots fantastic online publishing solutions try to mimic the experience of reading a real book, with all fancy effects such as highlight, flipping, adding comments beside the books; it still doesn’t work out very well. Some hardware device manufactures develop the tiny portable digital documents readers bundled with digital books publishing service. However, there is no good practice as iTune + iPod in music industry.
This article sited a comment from Dan Buckley, the president of publishing at Marvel Entertainment saying that "Ours is different from video because their final product looks exactly the same."
I really doubt it because of the barely replaceable experience that happens while people read a real book. You may say “their final product looks exactly the same.” In music industry, but it’s not the case in press media industry.
