Digital? Print? Book lovers don’t really care; we just want more books. A digital-print combo, however, is certain to capture our attention. Portugal-based engageLab unites the two modes of reading with Bridging Book, and app that allows the reader to turn the pages of a printed book while, through the magic of magnets, the app follows along, extending the book into the iPad’s screen.

With the extra day off this past weekend, did you complete any DIY projects? If so, please feel free to share them with us. I’m working on a couple of DIY iPad projects myself. If they work out, I’ll be sure to share them with you. Last week, we told you about a complex electronics-based iPad project using a modified solar powered lamp. I don’ think I’ll be trying that any time soon.
This week we found a helpful DIY project on YouTube that shows you how to turn your iPad into a document camera. Get out your PVC pipes and power saw because you’ll be going into the workshop for this one.
Students or professionals who use the iPad to record video while note taking know that this variety of multitasking requires more than a little juggling on the part of the user. RHP Multimedia’s MirrorCase for iPad plans to solve this (decidedly first world) problem, and they’ve turned to Kickstarter to raise the necessary funds to produce this useful iPad accessory. MirrorCase lets you use the rear camera while the iPad is in the horizontal position, affording the notetaker a chance to record while he writes.
