This video seems to be cropping up everywhere with people oohing and ahhing about it. Whilst there's an inevitability to the big iPhone idea, I thought the rest of it was basically just eye candy and really rather pants. Not least because they seem to want to transpose an old media publishing cycle on to a new(ish) platform - the very thing we're trying to get away from! Also, it completely fails to acknowledge the difference between reading from projected and reflected light. This is the killer usability feature of ebooks and it places some pretty major constraints on how interfaces can function.
