Push Pop Press, an e-publishing startup founded by ex-Apple engineers Mike Matas and Kimon Tsinteris, has announced its acquisition by Facebook.
Push Pop published one multimedia book for the iPad, Al Gore’s “Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis.” At that time, Push Pop, as Wired.com’s Brian Chen wrote, sought to create a “publishing platform for authors, publishers and artists to turn their books into interactive iPad or iPhone apps — no programming skills required.”
Facebook has no interest in publishing interactive e-books. According to Push Pop, “there are no plans to continue publishing new titles or building out our publishing platform that was in private beta.”
