The Cleverest iPad Book Yet

10:11AM April 13, 2010 | Rosa Golijan

I keep twisting and turning my iPad with childlike wonder while reading a familiar tale of the adventures of a girl named Alice. For the first time in my life, I’m blown blown away by an interactive book design.

Alice for the iPad is a cute app which contains a slightly interactive version of a beloved story. It’s not interactive to the point of annoyance and tackiness, but instead full of clever little touches like mushrooms that you can toss around a room with a twist of your iPad or an Alice who grows and shrinks as you move your gadget around.

The app is available for $12 or as a free “lite” version. And while it doesn’t seem to be intended for adults, I couldn’t be more fascinated by it. It’s quite possible the cleverest book I’ve seen so far and exactly how I dreamed books would look one day. [iTunes (Lite Version) and iTunes (Full Version)]

    Nice.

    This along with a few other ideas (for ebooks) have been floating around in my head for years; cool to see them becoming a reality thanks to new devices!

    I’m not a fan of the ipad or books, yet this is still undeniably awesome!
