Aquafadas is a French technology company that has a mighty array of tools for companies looking to publish digital magazines. They were a very appealing takeover target for Kobo, who needed technology to give to publishers the tool to submit content to their upcoming magazine store. Today, Aquafadas has announced a big update to their tools and will offer compressive support for iOS 7.
Publishers that have a vested interest in enhanced kids books may benefit the most from the latest update. This is due to the addition of real world physics, which will add physical properties to any element of the design. Companies will also be able to take advantage of the tablet’s accelerometer and create maze type of games.
Many industry pundits are now speculating that when Kobo launches their magazine store later in the month, the Kobo iOS reading app will be updated to allow readers to browse and read magazines. Likely the new Aquafadas technology is what is going to power this and offer cool new tools for graphic novels, manga, digital comics and eBooks.
