Almost ten years after the World Trade Center disaster, a book documenting the history of the building in photos and video will be published. And it will be iPad-only.
The creator, Steve Rosenbaum, has assembled 400 photographs plus several hours of video, and will be skipping paper altogether. His reasoning is both smart and startling. When asked why he would limit sales of his book by publishing only on a device that costs minimum $500, he said
When you look at it like that, it seems stupid to publish on paper any more, right? Imagine how these things will go when the iPad finally gets a retina display.
The app will be free from its launch on September 1st until September 12th. After that it will cost $10 – still much less than a glossy photo book.
