Brad Haynes: "The reading experience the iPad can provide is far beyond what we’ve seen before." … " The design principles are the same but the experience is innovative, slick and easy to use. That added sophistication requires a pretty savvy web strategy to plan and execute successfully. And while the barrier for entry is low into the industry, experiences that truly take advantage of all these details are few and far between. It’s a holistic approach that benefits the user. And that approach is entrenched in strategy and planning, design, development and testing. Leave one of those elements off your list of specialties and you’ll end up with a lopsided product and a frustrated user."
