Inside Higher Ed, a news site that keeps its ears and eyes on what’s happening in academic and related publishing, has a nice article today about how some forward-thinking publishers are going beyond e-books and engaging the whole universe (or at least parts of the whole universe) of digital and social media. The article highlights the Dad’s Eye View iPhone app as an example of an innovative approach to publishing.

It’s a trade journal article, so it’s a little dry: more suited to my other site rather than this one. But if the confluence of traditional and new media is something that interests you, it’s certainly worth a read.

And if you’d like to tap into the future of travel books now, then download the app and let us know what you think!

The MHS Press 10,000 Books Weblog has a nice article today about the iPhone app.

It’s pretty cool, not just as an app (you can search for adventures by season, topic, and price; see the locations on a map; and share your experiences via Facebook and Twitter) but also as an experiment in digital publishing. This is the first app that MHS Press has done, but I don’t think it will be the last: this is a great way to reach new audiences and release content into the world. And for a book like Dad’s Eye View that very much wants to be out in the world, that’s a great thing!
