Is print dead? As the ability to carry more information in as tiny space as possible the way we view different forms of media is changing in a daily basis. Instead of having the usual Wall Street Journal delivered to the house I now have it digitally delivered. The popularity of the Kindle has readers turning to this digital reader instead of paper backs. Who knows what the rumored iSlate from Apple will bring to the table. Check out this Bonnier Mag prototype. Video and images after the jump.

The concept aims to capture the essence of magazine reading, which people have been enjoying for decades: an engaging and unique reading experience in which high-quality writing and stunning imagery build up immersive stories.

The concept uses the power of digital media to create a rich and meaningful experience, while maintaining the relaxed and curated features of printed magazines. It has been designed for a world in which interactivity, abundant information and unlimited options could be perceived as intrusive and overwhelming.

The purpose of publishing this concept video is first and foremost to spark a discussion around the digital reading experience in general, and digital reading platforms in particular. Thus, we would be more than happy to hear what you have to say regarding the concept and ideas expressed in the video: the magazine reading experience, digital browsing, text versus images, as well as hear about your own digital reading experiences and thoughts. We are all ears.
