Why not a normal webpage? I don't want my complete computer-screen be filled with a newspaper? I wanna read it, click around, maybe visit other hyperlinks which a posted within an artikle, and use other programs like an instant messanger while reading... Sorry, that's hopefully not the future of online publishing.... It’s sad that they use flash for their e-mag. Why not a normal webpage?

This is nice for designers but lacks security and interoperability (mobile devices). The embedded videos contrast the professional design with low quality. The content doesn't focus on digital natives or to be more general on people that are used to the web, since there is no commentary area. Flash could have offered multimedial opportunities, but Springer didn't use this platform to the limit - not even 50%. Worst thing is the old bundling type no one likes anymoore. No user can choose topics or subjects of interest and a bunch of other things one could have made better that flypemagazine... It is nice project for people who worked in the print area for decades. Everyone else will be disappointed - even digital immigrants who use the web on a daily basis The eMag looks nice and uses the full horizontal resolution of 16×9 screens, but it is based in Flash.
