Comment on Living Magazine Cover and Spread – Outside Magazine by Greg Petagrew

” I don’t even dispute that some of these devices will hit new levels of awesomeness, and get people reading digitally in record numbers, but I don’t see these devices as being able to shut down the presses. For one thing, not everyone will be willing to own a device that will cost several hundred dollars, no matter how great.”
-Alex Henry

In his statement, he’s not comparing apples to apples (pardon the pun).
He’s comparing the future THEORETICAL price of his magazine (a few dollars) to the high cost of EXISTING technology (the Kindle, iPad, etc.).

If the price of his Living Art magazines are going to come down to the few dollars level then SO will the price of the Kindle and the iPad. The screen itself is the main cost of these devices. The electronics (microprossor, ram, power supply, voltage regulators, etc. etc.) are relatively cheap. Those components would be needed in his electronic magazine as well. (unless he really has found some magical Harry Potter ink)

But, being in the electronics industry, I really don’t foresee OLED or any other flexible screens being as cheap as a paper magazine and being sold off a “newsstand”

OLED screens may become much less expensive for sure, but probably in the $50 – $100 range for a magazine sized one.
Currently, a magazine sized flexible screen is in the $3000 – $4000 price range.

In the highly unlikely even they DO become cheap as paper…seriously, are people going to be throwing these away and then picking up the next “issue”.
I don’t see that going over to well with Al Gore minions.

Why do we have to have a physically discreet object in our hand for every different magazine we want.
The “newstand” is an outdated dinosaur and so are individual “hard copies” of magazines and book – the tablet/download route (1 unit that can store ALL your issues of Parenting, Spin and Fancy Cat magazine) is the wave of the future.

In the end he’s just talking about a variation of the Kindle and other curerent technologies. Current technologies that will also slowly improve into thin flexible media displays.

Anyway, that’s my engineering 2 cents

Has anyone noticed the date of this post? A full month before the Apple iPad launch! This concept can now be realised within months. All Bonnier needs is to write app, which shouldn’t be too difficult or costly as the new Apple iPad SDK has most of the UI elemnts in place.

I can’t wait to read magazines on my iPad. Bonnier, don’t let this concept die!

Very insightful and extremely well thought out concept, the interface design for the device is beautiful.

I absolutely agree with the page curl concept, it’s not inherently tied into the use of digital media, but a cheat between the printed page and the screen, sort of half committed… An interesting point.

It set my mind racing on other ideas behind the application of this device eg: subscriptions, content delivery, connectivity, cost and theft issues and the evolution of page layout applications to suit this device.

It really seems that the printed magazine has ever mounting pressure on it to accept its redundancy. Will it ever happen? I can easily imagine using these tablets in the (not so distant) future.

I enjoyed this post immensely.

Cheers!
