Khoi Vinh, former design director for nytimes.com, says he doesn’t see much of a future for magazine iPad apps that are packaged like their print counterparts. “Some folks will continue to like the magazine format, but as social distribution becomes the way we discover and receive more of our content, it won’t make sense to sell it in these virtual boxes any more,” he tells Jack Marshall.
