I think that may not be a feature that I would use too much as I generally read old (pre 1900) books and like the page feel. I've been looking forward to seeing the 'page turn' feature on the iPad but will keep the vertical scrolling in mind if I think that turns out to be easier - which it might for some books like the WPA Slave Narratives.
