A big Smartphone-like (e.g. iPhone) stand with several "app"-cards (either in the shape of a smartphone or in the shape of an app-icon) for the different books hanging on it. It may even have an additional touchscreen to order additional items from the shop of the bookstore (see image). If customers wants some more information they may attach their smartphone for using the NFC-chip (integrated in the card) or something like QR-, bar-code.

yes - a big floor-stand and even a small table-stand
sure... is pretty easy
depends on the quality of the product
Thanks sooo much, Omar! Really awesome to know you love my idea... many many thanks and keep on rockin' ;)
Hey InDezign,
Great that you came up with a new idea!
Now you're entering a bigger space :)
The briefing says, that digital content should be subtly presented in a book store or at a trade fair so the target audience doesn't feel like in a electric goods store.
Your draft reminds a bit of a stand at Best Buyer's, don't you think so?
Be curious to explore this territory more in a conceptual way, find a new handling!
Also have a look at the briefing, there are a few very helpful links below. Especially the example "Reinvent a bookshop project" might be interesting for you and the design offices that are mentioned in the article.
Best, David
Hi David,
the idea reminds you of a stand at Best Buy? Great to know... mission accomplished. ;) If a book stand makes it to Best Buy then selling books will be so simple. Please, don't ge me wrong but what does it help to "subtly present" a digital content and make the customer search for it? It's time-consuming to search digitalc content offline and customers who want digital content are used to get it immediately (if not in a bookshop they'll rather go online)... And btw... to get a lost customer back costs much more than adapting the presentation to the needs of the different customers. At least that's my opinion...
Best, Eric
Wodurch unterscheidet dieser Entwurf von den E-Book-Cards, die schon im Handel sind?
Hallo Herr Schmidt, vielen Dank für Ihre Frage! Ich muss gestehen, dass ich erst durch Ihre Frage von den E-Book-Cards erfahren habe. Wenn ich mir die Beispiele im Web dazu ansehe (http://www.ebookcards.de, http://www.thebookdesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Enthrill-photo-copy-3.jpeg, http://www.umbreit.de/uploads/pics/eBookCardsPlakatStart22001.jpg etc.) erinnern sie nicht im Entferntesten an digitale Inhalte, sondern "verschwinden" (so ist jedenfalls mein Eindruck) in den allgemeinen (analogen) Buch-Präsentationen. Meine Lösung hingegen stellt den Umstand des digitalen Inhalts deutlich hervor, sodass gerade Fans der digitalen Literatur auf den ersten Blick in einem Buchshop erkennen, wo "ihre" Inhalte zu finden sind. Ich hoffe, ich konnte den Unterschied erläutern. Viele Grüße, Eric
Great to know you had the same idea ... and sorry I was a bit faster ;) At least it shows great minds think alike and this idea might be somehow interesting. Best of luck for your ideas, Evgeni!!
oh you was first! :) I had idea to make stand look like ipad :)
As said before... great mind think alike, Evgeni! ;) Keep up your outstanding work and best of luck!
Thanks sooo much, Sebastian!! Awesome to know you love my idea!! :))
