A long time ago I’d built a comic reader application in WPF.  Like many ideas it was put on the back-burner of my mind indefinitely.  When the iPad was announced I’m sure I wasn’t the only one that thought, “iPad = COMICS!!”

So I downloaded the beta SDK and spent an afternoon trying to figure out how hard it would be to build a decent comic book reader for the iPad.  Answer: Not very.

Here’s a video of what I came up with. I wish it wasn’t so jerky but that’s a result of screen capturing app I used.  Oh, and yes I know those buttons are dumb but they’re just to let you know how the interaction is happening.

I’d love to see how this runs on a real iPad.
