iPad's iBook page turn is kitschy
Friday, January 29, 2010 at 3:19AM You have a screen that switches pixels fast. You’re competing against screens that take a few seconds to change pages. And what do you do? Do you drive your advantage home? Do you play up the fact that all eInk-based readers take several seconds to switch pages?
Evidently not.
Instead, you insert a kitschy page-turn animation intended to remind readers that paper books used to require flipping a leaf. (Anyone notice the fake text placed on the ‘back’ of the page?)

I have to agree with you about the page turn animation being kitchsy! I mean the ipad has a far higher processor than the kindle - why waste it on a stupid animation.
I am sticking to the kindle for my ebooks!
