Google vice-president Vint Cerf has made it abundantly clear this week that our digital media is not safe.

In a world where everything has become available in a digital format, it is easy to forget what those simple yet nostalgic print days were all about.

Many of the brightest and best publishers have beautiful digital editions of their magazines, but with one fatal flaw: they are exclusive to iPads.

Here, we explore how others have used digital magazines and apps to reach out to clients, and what options are available to small and large businesses alike.
