Some A List Apart greatest hits from Zeldman's Selling Design class at SVA MFA IxD

I’ve started a list of essays and articles that I feel are important touchstones and reference points for interaction designers.

I’ve been thinking about pages, print and scrolling for a while, mainly because I’m a designer and it’s part of my job, but also because I quite fancy getting an e-reader of some kind. I’m thinking about one particular aspect of the technology: the page metaphor.

One of primary use cases I am testing out on the iPad is reading and annotating PDFs. If I could replace 20 inches of paper in my bag with an iPad, that would be awesome. Obviously I need to be able to annotate, extract annotations, etc. Major pluses would be easy downloading from Web of Science searches, and integration with Endnote.

When talking about the Best Books I linked to this great Ask MetaFilter thread from 2007: What single book is the best introduction to your field (or specialization within your field) for laypeople?
