Yeah, "cool demo, but..." -- I was also surprised that clicking the "Flip" 'button' didn't flip. Between that and the fact that you have to be on the left side to flip back, and on the right side to flip forward (just like a real book), instead of being able to flip either way from anywhere on the page, says that they are concentrating on the gimmicky "RealThing" metaphore of a book, and ignoring usability and Fitts' Law. The User-Interface-Hall-Of-Shame-Worthy QuickTime 4.0 player and IBM's "RealThings" interface design methodology made the same mistake. http://homepage.mac.com/bradster/iarchitect/qtime.htm
