Much has been made of the iPad's potential to change the way we consume
books, newspapers, and other texts of all shapes and sizes, and one
company that seems particularly poised to take advantage of the
tablet's 9.7-inch multitouch display is Zinio. Since 2002, the company
has provided digital versions of popular magazines (as well as a
selection of books) to a variety of platforms, with top titles like
Rolling Stone, Playboy, and Cosmopolitan available for purchase. With
the iPad launch in sight, Zinio president and CEO Rich Maggiotto spoke
with us earlier this month about designing its app for the device and
bringing a new level of interactivity to digital publications.
