Zappos Launches iPad Magazine With Click-and-Buy Functionality

Online shoe and apparel retailer Zappos has paired the ease of tablet publishing and the convenience of online purchasing by launching Zappos ZN, a new iPad app that showcases its products in the form of an editorial magazine. While most tablet magazines feature advertisements of different products and brands, most or all of them do not feature immediate access to on-the-spot purchasing within the first moment of contact.
