Google Tech Talks June 26, 2007 ABSTRACT An electronic book is defined as a digital book that not only captures the affordances of a physical book, but also transcends the limitations of its paper counterpart. There is much debate as to whether the use of the book metaphor is appropriate for an electronic document. User studies suggest that current popular document presentations (HTML and PDF) are not always the most convenient, or the most comfortable, for the reader. On the other hand, while realistic physically-based computer models of books have been around for years, they are rarely deployed in practice. I suggest that this happens not because of any proven drawbacks, but is purely...

E ink makes viewing documents much more comfortable, however e paper can not currently be quickly animated due to it's slow refresh rate. Given the option of the two I wouldn't give a ** about pretty turning pages.

In reality, current readers using e-paper are far more convenient and environmentally sound that trying to carry around even three or four paper books. Almost all new readers can hold hundreds or even thousands of ebooks. Case closed

Further, one can hold the book in any orientation one wishes. Any kind of computer simulated page turning will not provide the same experience if you are doing just one page turn at a time.
