What the iPad is Missing: Good Typography →
Stephen Coles, FontShop’s self-described “Glyph Pusher” (and boy does he know glyphs):
Apple has made some puzzling decisions over the last few years that leave one wondering if they really care about typography as much as they did in the 1980s when the Mac launched the desktop publishing revolution. As recently as 2005, Steve Jobs made typography a central theme of his commencement address to Stanford grads, but his actions as the almighty head of Apple haven’t followed suit.
Sadly, I have to agree with Stephen’s thoughts. The Winnie the Pooh book that comes with iBooks is a shining (i.e. dull) example of illegible type. Unless the formatting is improved, I don’t see myself reading books on iPad anytime soon.
