Is that the Amazon Arrow? It'd be cool (By my standards) if it was similar, but it looks like a straight rip. :(

Re: Turn.js - The page flip effect for HTML5
#32It looks snazzy, but the example does a brilliant job of defeating the object. It works with flipping pages to see more content, but then you have overflowing content on one page that requires vertical scrolling* to see it all. I've never come across a book that requires me to do something other than turn the page to read more. *This is also broken (presumably in an attempt to prevent scrollbars appearing), and requi…
You can also click the left hand side or right hand side (on mouse over, you'll see a button fade in) to turn the page.

#35The reason why flash is (was) such a horrible horrible thing for the web is only partially because it was a shitty shitty plugin. The real reason is things like this. Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.
I couldn't agree more. All the CSS3/HTML5 craze really worries me. With all the new tools we have available, it's more important than ever to remember that with great power comes great responsibility (to care about our users).

#36Why do people put QR codes on websites (the credits pane)?

#37This is cool and I don't mean to disparage the work that went into it, but at the same time I hope nobody actually uses it because just plain old vertical scrolling web pages are way more practically usable.
It's a good alternative to Flash. I don't think people really advocate the effect as a replacement for normal scrolling paradigms. There are some specific cases where it might make sense to do it and it's great that those pages will no longer be forced into Flash.

#38Nitpick: don't call an animation lightweight when it's half the size of the entire jQuery library.

#39I hate things like this. Take the iPad: to turn a page, I have to wave my hand over the screen, obscuring the text in process. For no reason beyond familiarity. There is no other benefit. It's a step backwards.
You can just tap the right corner ;)
Funny thing about the right corner: if you hover over it and circle down the inside of the page, you'll see the left-inside corner pop up.

#40Nice effect, but the fact the page becomes blurry when I have my mouse over the "next page" button is annoying. I have to move the mouse away while reading and back when I want to turn the page. I'd prefer to just not move the mouse and roll a scroll wheel. (Actually, that's a lie - I'd rather not touch the mouse at all and just press j.)
