As a writer/artist, I’d like to know what is the software that is used to develop an interactive book that can be delivered on the iPad.

And, would customers be able to simply download the interactive book to their iPad as they do with a Penguin Book? Would authors be able to self-distribute via the internet? Or, is it a proprietary delivery system?

I’m wondering when there will be time for quiet reflection and contemplation, with all these bells and whistles going off? Do people still see a value in reflection, just being? Or am I only showing my age. I also appreciate Meliphant’s comment about losing the control over the vision you see………….

Can i think this is the battle between apple and Penguin? They will cooperate, behind of this fact they should share benifits from this project.
of course, the battle is no business of third software companies like ifunia and aneesoft who survived on providing software based on apple’s products.

The reference to Living Books from Broderbund is spot on. It seems that things come around after a few “early waves.” Take MySpace or Facebook. Well, how do they differ from GeoCities (which sold for $3.5 billion dollars)? The difference between Broderbund and Penguin Books for the iPad is that now we have a much, much larger audience equipped with the proper platforms and connections, plus we now have the tools for almost anyone to create such books.

Inventions always go through generations or iterations. This can be called “Broderbund 2.0/”
