Take a look at Issuu.com. Upload a PDF and voila you have a page-turning, zoomable, magazine or journal or publication. Here's a copy of The Printable Blog, that cool new and REAL newspaper being done by that brave new start-up in Chicago founded by Joshua Karp. I imagine TPB won't mind to my using their pdf to demonstrate Issuu. Come to think of it, some combination of our very own enthusem web app and online print versions would be a great new concept for both magazines and newspapers who are struggling to build new readership while containing escalating printing costs. It would open up a new revenue model for advertisers as well. You heard it here first folks. I'll be working on that idea over the weekend. More to follow.
Just found your site by following the comment at PrintCEO.
Re the issuu+print idea. Consider how that might play out for K-12 textbooks and using student created publications and newspaper created publications as customized print to deliver into classrooms.
I keep turning it around and around and I can't figure out why it wouldn't work.
