Tapping the screen? Also, is right/wrong reporting really that important? I don't have a way to do it with paper flashcards...
I find being able to report right/wrong answers makes flashcard programs much more effective. Once you try a program like Mnemosyne or SuperMemo, you'll never go back to paper flashcards. http://www.supermemo.com/english/ol/sm2.htm
Very clever use of the smart cover, but in the end I don't feel many people will use it. Its cleverness relies on having an iPad 2 and a smart-cover, which segments it. Then, from a usability standpoint, I feel it would be more annoying to continue to lift up a cover than to tap the screen to reveal the answer.
This is such a great example of excess. iPad 2: 500$+ Smart Cover: 40$ Evernote Peek: 0$. vs. Pack of index cards: 2$

Let me guess, you wear one of those giant trenchcoats in which you keep a film camera, a TV, a travel Scrabble kit, a rolodex, a piano, a homing pigeon, an encyclopedia, a barometer, a thermometer, a bubble level, a compass, a paintbrush and paints, an ocarina, a walkie-talkie, and of course, a pack of flashcards =)

How is creating a useful application for an expensive device that replaces an inferior took an example of excess? It's not really like people buy iPads simply to replace a pack of notecards and nothing else.

It does not actually require Apple's Smart Cover; any of the third-party covers which are using magnets would work the same way. And there are already quite a few of those.
Even if we change it from "needing a smart cover" to "needing a magnetic cover", the same general principal holds: You won't just need an iPad 2, you'll also need a cover that takes advantage of this capability, which will cut down your audience by a good amount.

An ocarina? Really?
