The book of tomorrow?

A priest bounded into my cubicle this morning with his iPad.  “You have to see this,” he said breathlessly.  He’d downloaded this app, and was almost giddy with excitement.  Could we do something like this with the magazine?, he wondered.  As he flipped through the pages and fingered the pictures and expanded and compressed graphs, the reality — and tantalizing possibility — of what I was watching became clear.  It’s awesome.

Something like this may be in our future — and in everyone’s future.  It’s an amazing app, and a brilliant way of re-thinking how we read books.
