We have the technology to create a revolution in reading, and Matthew Talbot-Kelly is using it. He’s bringing interactive books to a new level with his company, ‘Moving Tales,’ breaking the PDF flip-page approach to books for the iPad.
Interactive video and audio allow the books to take on a life of their own. The first book, called ‘The Pedlar Lady of Gushing Cross,’ is a big taste of what’s to come from this upstart business. ‘Moving Tales’ has plans to release more interactive iPad books in the future.
