For those of you who are unfamiliar with Flipboard, I classify it as a reader on steroids, created for the iPad.  It’s sleek design is reminiscent of an elegant, electronic magazine, but because it allows me to customize my content, from multiple sources, it falls into the reader classification for me.  Nonetheless, Flipboard users today were greeted with a publishers message announcing their print media centred product called Flipboard Pages.   Some of the print media publishers who have signed in for this, the early stages of Flipboard Pages are, Lonely Planet, San Francisco Chronicle, and the Washington Post Magazine.

Flipboard Pages in essence will help these publishers syndicate their content in an elegant and modern manner, while still using the page turning experience that their offline users are accustom to.  This move also opens up a revenue model for Flipboard and its investors, who amassed a whopping $10 million in funding for the start-up.
