I see a glimmer of hope for publishers based on what I’m seeing here in Penguin’s idea of what an iPad-like device can do for their content. What I find particularly interesting is the travel book on the iPad. Tying in the GPS location services with creating a custom “tour of the city” is something I can get very interested in. I think that Penguin is starting to take baby steps in creating a new way to consuming books on the iPad.
