What is the future of the book in this digital world? This week we are joined by special guest, Connor Mason, as we continue our series inspired by stock iOS apps. This time around we tackle eBooks and discuss what they mean for the future of reading and physical books. Connor questions how eBooks differentiate themselves from physical books. Bryan has us contemplate whether digital books are effective for learning, while Sean ponders the future of the library in a digital world. Sam wraps things up by discussing the challenges engineers and developers face when translating ink on a page into pixels on a screen. This episode, like War and Peace, is a doozie.
