Book Library Concept for the iPad

Book Library Concept for the iPad

John Cain from Thomas Nelson’s Digital Division shared an interesting YouTube video from two innovators at O’Reilly Media, Brett McLaughlin and Mark Reese. The video storyboards what a book library and functionality could look like on the iPad.

This is good stuff that makes you think about new opportunities and possibilities. What I like most about the concept is the functionality. There is so much you can do with a book on the iPad. And, you can do it in what I think will be a very friendly, portable interface.  I can definitely see myself using the iPad with this functionality and library format.

These ideas could impact nearly all our businesses at Thomas Nelson. I think, however, one of the biggest winners could our Bible and Reference business.

Does this give you any ideas for what we should be doing at Thomas Nelson?

    Tod…we have this concept and full library app..BUT as well as syncing iPad/.iPhone it also shows library on all devices including Android eReaders, BB Phones, Nokia, Android phones, iRex, iRiver Samsung. Apple is a closed environment…consumers want choice. would love to demonstrate it to your team
