herzo.. Adobe Digital Publishing tools allow you to create interactive elements in your magazine articles (such as interactive panoramas, 360 views, videos, full html web snippets/pages etc).
It is rumored that Apple is working on something similar.
I found a few magazines to be underwhelming with interactive content. Wired is one good one but the other ones are really just print to digital replica for the most part (some have an audio here nad video there but very little).
But I think that's not the reason for decline.. I think it's because there is no value in subscriptions. You have to pay each issue now $4-$5. That's way too much, when you compare it to the fact that your print subscription is costing you less then a $1 per issue.
We'll see whether situation improves once Apple comes out with subscription based model for magazines but being greedy fucks as they are I believe they are asking for way too much from publishers to jump aboard, especially since publishers want to be able to deliver both print and digital versions for your subscription.
