Canadian Family magazine launches tablet version

Brandie Weikle, the editor-in-chief of Canadian Family says that it was time for the magazine to deliver a dedicated iPad tablet version to its readers.

“Many of our readers rely on the tablet more and more for the ease and convenience of having their favourite magazine with them wherever they go,” she said. “We want to maximize the ways in which readers can use our content interactively — whether it be following a recipe with a tap of your finger, or scrolling to read the text you want — this unique, tactile experience is truly an exciting offering.”

The iPad edition is fully redesigned to display properly on the iPad, including interactive functionality. The edition is $3.99. An Android version is in the works.

Most readers will get their first chance to see the magazine this way with the popular March Baby issue.
