What's new?

The internet has been awash with photographs of a leaked prototype of the iPhone 6. Although the iPhone is by no means the first larger-screened phone on the market, it highlights a trend that will provide exciting challenges for digital publishers...

Whether these pictures are genuine or not, it is no secret that Apple's iPhone screens will be having a growth spurt. About time too: the iphone is lagging behind the screen sizes of its competitors (as pointed out in Samsung's cheeky advert about screen envy- click here to watch).

Gamebook seems like a concept created before its time; prior to the days of interactivity and user power the internet and digital media now offer, rarely did audiences get a say in mass-produced media; publishing in particular.

Below I take a look at how gamebooks have changed as technology catches up with interactivity and ask, which is the better platform for this unique medium, print or digital?

We’re deep into the age of digital publishing. Do the needs of yesterday still stand today?

In 2012, a survey from the Pew Research Centre and The Economist found that 60% of Americans under the age of 40 preferred to read conventional print-like versions of newspapers and lifestyle magazines on their tablets rather than interactive ones.

Amazon has taken its next big step in dominating the e-book market with its release of 'Kindle Unlimited', which allows subscribers unlimited access to e-books, for $9.99 a month.

Although currently limited to the US, Amazon's new service has the potential to dramatically alter the way books are consumed. The subscription model itself is not a new one; companies like Spotify are well-known for changing the way we listen to and purchase music. More recently, ventures like Readly, a subscription-based magazine service,  have taken steps to translate this into the Digital Publishing world.
