PUBLIC MARKS from sbrothier with tags ipad & shop

Flipboard has long promised to provide publishers with magazine-like advertising that takes advantage of the capabilities of tablets and smartphones. Today it is introducing a new example: a "social catalog" for Levi's featuring the brand's "Go Forth" ads and a branded "magazine" that allows readers to shop Levi's fall collection and share images on Facebook and Twitter.

Going back to our use first use of a Kindle, we were amazed and excited about the idea of an e-reader. At the same time we started to feel a sense of loss about not holding and reading a good book (despite what one might think, reading is at least in part a tactile thing).
