Absorb Magazine is a thematic magazine for which involves sound, video, text and interaction exclusively for iPad. The magazine is in English and free.DescriptionIt all started more than two years ago when a group of people wanted to start an iPad magazine. The fuzz about this new tablet was wild and we couldn't understand why publishers - new as old - weren't going nuts and producing magazines to this new media. We have been greatly inspired by the magazines from POST from UK and Astronaut from Germany (check them out if you haven't yet) but on the Danish scene (we are from Copenhagen) there almost wasn't any.We started, got friends and colleagues to produce content. After six months we more or less had the magazine - though without programming - without a requirements document - without the needed money. Basically without a clue about the programming part. Psssst, it is an very important part.We kept on going and raised and found money and after three different programmers, three different release-dates, we got Andy Dockett in Chile on board and he took it home. And we are very happy!'Started out broke with a hobby, but no longer have to go around the hotel lobby'If only that could be the outcome. This is a tuff industry and 97% of all iPad magazines are free of charge. So we will see how it goes - this is an experiment and we are very excited to see what happens now!Enjoy reading, tell us what you think can be improved and we will all take it from there.
