German publisher Springer unveils iPad-only project Frankfurt (AFP) Dec 22, 2010 The Axel Springer Academy, established by Germany's eponymous publishing group, said Wednesday it would create a magazine designed to be viewed exclusively on the Apple iPad. "Kraftwerk D" is to cost 2.39 euros (3.20 dollars), would be assembled by 18 students and would mark "a world premiere for a school of journalism," a statement said.

Springer is very interested in the iPad phenomenon, and recently blocked free Internet access to its popular daily Bild in the aim of getting readers to pay for the newspaper.
