An eReader idea
I've been having discussions with people that use rule books for role playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons and other reference books about the appeal of physical books over their ebook counterparts. One of the more common complaints I hear from people is, when it comes to reference books, you can grab them and quickly skim through the book and find what you're looking for from muscle memory in your fingers, or just brain memory of knowing how far to skim in a book.

I thought there might be a way to recreate this experience in an eReader by having a bar down the side of the unit that you could slide your fingers down to "flip through" a book.

Is this being implemented is any reading software for tablets by any chance?
