#3Why on earth are people trying to hang onto the paper style?
I get that publishers don't want to rehash all their print media just for digital downloads, but why do we have to shoe-horn that into some crappy, unneccessary page transition process?

I believe it is to re-inforce the idea of the book as the product. A book page flipper is not meant for you to consume the content (must be annoying reading and having to see the animation on each page flip!), but for you to consult the material all the time being reminded of the physical object.

What excites me, is that I used to have to do a lot of these types of projects using a flash based solution that you just banged your head against. This is all javascript, so the sky is the limit for customization. And he did a great job with the api, there are a ton of events to hook into, and it goes down to IE7.
I don't disagree with your point about usability, but clients eat it up for some reason and this solution is very elegant and developer friendly.

#6I am amazed! But probably not in the way the author intended.
The web is not paper, stop screwing it up. We fall on skeuomorphism because design takes time to coalesce on new forms, but good design will emerge. Skeuomorph designs age quickly, as Apple's annual interface overhauls show. Good digital design is starting to emerge[1][2]! Don't give in!

#7Websites samples not working on Chrome 19. Had to reload 4 - 5 times. When they worked, it was a slideshow on my (relatively) new computer. Yipes-stripes.

I want a browser with readability's interface. So wonderful to use.

#9I looked at the samples in your github project. All the samples there have jpegs as pages. Do you have something similar to the demo on the live site (html instead of image files)? Nice work.

Shows how much the book-as-technology is a given in our society. I'd bet two dollars that the first books had pictures of stone tablets with engravings on them.
