Bondi Helps Playboy Hug Digital Media
Asks Bondi: Why would you let more than 650 of your favorite Playmates celebrate the holidays in a damp garage, stashed under your bed or crowded together in the basement, when you can bring them all together beneath the mistletoe this year?
An attractive offering from Bondi Digital Publishing, every issue of Playboy magazine—from 1953 to 2010—is now available on a pocket-sized, travel-friendly 250GB hard drive, the company said Monday, Nov. 22.
Playboy is not alone that is embracing digital media. Recently, Adobe Systems announced that Martha Stewart Living’s debut digital publication was delivered using tools from the recently announced Adobe Digital Publishing Suite.
The result, a special 20th anniversary digital issue of Martha Stewart Living, subtitled “Boundless Beauty,” is now available for the iPad through the Apple App Store. (Read: Adobe Brings Boundless Beauty on iPad)

Runner’s World is claimed to be the first consumer running magazine to enter the iPad market.
