mono.kultur magazine has released its first iPad app, and it takes the main feature from its current issue (#26) — on Manfred Eicher — and expands on it (although I’m a bit confused here, as it may in fact be the entire issue). I haven’t had a chance to properly go through it yet, but [...]

This is just a simple thing, but it’s also another example of why I enjoy digital editions of magazines. It’s Saturday, I wake up rather late. I go to the kitchen, get the coffee maker going. I then go back to my futon (I live in Japan, remember), grab my iPad, and am greeted with [...]

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention in the “New Releases” section of the site the recently released iPhone edition of Letter to Jane 03: Moral Tales.

I’m already a happy subscriber to the iPad edition of The New Yorker just with the regular issues, but it’s been nice to receive the bonus issues as well. The first, released a few weeks ago, was a collection of “The Talk of the Town” pieces, and last week we got another one called “The [...]

This isn’t a proper review — which is why I’ve put it in the “Commentary” category — but I wanted to bring up an example of something I’ve been enjoying in the recently launched iPad edition of EGMi (the weekly digital spinoff of EGM magazine). They’ve run these in a few issues, and as you [...]

As I mentioned in the previous post, another bit of weirdness I recently experienced with the GQ app was when I started reading it before it had completed downloaded. One of the features I was actually very happy to see in the last update to the Adobe digital publishing tools (to the client app) was [...]
