Comment: Lewis Bush recently created his own take on War Primer 2 (ebook recommended by me) by Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin. Whatever you might feel about Bush’s War Primer 3, appropriation or double-appropriation, I think his PDF deserves a look and some attention.

I recently asked some publishers if I could use screen grabs of their digital photobooks in a slideshow.

I've been able to preview the upcoming "The Afronauts" App by Cristina De Middel and Ubicuo Studio for two days. The book the app is based on got a lot of attention, sold out quickly and is now out of reach for most people. Cristina didn't want to print a second edition of the book, and instead decided to make an app to make the work more accessible.

EPhotoBookList.com is a welcome addition. The need for a shop/library to sort and collect digital photobooks in one place has always been there.

Hi Jean-Michel. You’re the Design Director of digital publisher MAPP Editions. Digital publishing is still a relatively new medium and my guess is that designers are coming from different backgrounds. What did you do before getting into app and ebook design?

Where does that leave the digital photobook? How can it attract artists and readers? Below are three examples of work that take advantage of the medium. Of course these categories can be, and are combined.

Hi John Vink. You’ve been visiting Cambodia since 1989 and have been based there since 2000. In short, what kind of changes have you seen during this time, both positive and negative?
The changes in Cambodia have been mindboggling: coming from "Year Zero" and reaching hints of the 21st century in two decades is not a small feat and says a lot about the vitality of the Cambodian people.
