Can you visualize what I see in my dream: how the softly rounded gutter and sloping page edges create the illusion an open 3d eBook?

Apple's new Ipad does stuff like that. It's not an ebook reader, but you can read ebooks on it for short periods if you want to. People complain that the fuzzy lines at the edge of the pages stay the same all the way through the book instead of growing/shrinking as you read through it.

Me, I don't see the point in sticking a plastic horse's head on the bonnet of your car.
