the complete story)
| "Pretty nifty, I especially like the 1-4 finger/1-4 page at a time mode! (from @FredKiesche)" (Fred 1/11/2012 3:08:44 PM) |
| "I couldn't quite tell from the demo whether or not it shows a relative number of pages from the left and right sides, showing how far into the book you are. One of my main pet peeves with the iBook presentation of books." (Bill Christensen 1/11/2012 3:09:12 PM) |
| "Meh, I can take or leave page flipping. What I did like about the demo was the fanning feature! You get to a specific chapter without having to pull up a menu, tap the link, and go there." (Joey1058 1/12/2012 7:59:07 AM) |
| "I like the idea that someone, somewhere, is watching users to see _exactly_ how they use regular books. And then try to implement it in software." (Bill Christensen 1/12/2012 12:36:25 PM) |
