My tablet is a real-world object, and an actual medium for displaying text, too :/
I got the page curl today after letting my tablet update last night, and it is sooooooooo distracting. It also slows page turns and obstructs the text while doing so. Waving a special effect in my face makes the medium more apparent, not less. There is no way such a feature should have been implemented without the means to turn it off.

On a possibly related note, Mantano no longer seems to register a long press after the update, meaning no more dictionary look-up (or notation and highlighting, if I were into that sort of thing).
The line of pages on the side is less aggravating than the curl, but it is taking up my screen space while doing nothing. Anything on the screen besides the text (including any embedded illustrations or glyphs) is by definition an unnecessary distraction.
