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.

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.

Tech is getting smaller by the year and moving closer to our skin, or rather we are pulling it closer. From human-detached desktops, to more mobile laptops/notebooks; and most recently transitioning into our pockets in the form a mobile phones - we have now reached a stage where technology is wearable and resides on the surface of our skin. The next step doesn’t bear thinking about; microchips and internal tech turning humans part-cyborg.

Despite having a somewhat predictable image on the front cover, my first impression of the magazine is that I'm definitely going to come away wanting to book a holiday somewhere exotic. Both the cover and Branson's introduction to 'Unleashed' are full of challenges: 'Could you zipline above a jungle canopy?'; 'Have you got what it takes to become a sushi master?' and 'Come on, Dive in!'.

Before every Tom Dick and Harry had tablets and smartphones, books, newspapers, magazines and journals were printed because that was the only option available. Not that anyone minded or even noticed; publishing has always been tied to paper in that way. Now with the digital publishing world in a state of constant flux, publishers have a choice between digital or print. This means that whenever a hard copy book is made, it is now done with a greater consideration of the end product - someone has had a choice, not just defaulted to print.
