All About News+ In December 2009, Bonnier launched Mag+, a format that quickly set a new standard for digital magazines. Mag+ got a lot of attention worldwide in the trade press and was called “King of the Hill” by Steve Jobs when Apple launched the iPad.
The lessons learned from Mag+ have shaped the development of a new digital format for tomorrow’s newspapers: News+.
News+ combines the depth and editorial choices of a daily newspaper with the web’s possibilities for interaction and quick updates.

Кажется, это первая программа, сделанная не в России, не считая Stanza, которая корректно отображает кириллицу в EPUB. И ещё там всякие social media штучки для бла-бла-бла. Книжек в продаже, впрочем, как-то мало.

Moscow and Mountain View, California – November 9, 2010 – Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies and Plastic Logic Inc. today announced they have entered into an agreement to create Plastic Logic’s second volume production facility for its next-generation plastic electronic displays and establish a plastic electronics industry in Russia. Under the terms of agreement RUSNANO intends to make a significant investment in the company, which is the global leader in the emerging field of plastic electronics, as part of a large-scale investment project.
Consider it an inauguration of sorts, a celebration of the eBook industry becoming a member of the major media club just as digital music and online video have before them. When you influence a billion dollars, people have to take you seriously. In the book business, it means that traditional publishers can no longer live in deny-and-delay mode; meanwhile, digital publishers get invited to better parties and people in other media businesses like TV and magazines look over and wonder if they could cut a slice of this new pie just for them.
