The page turn animation is not only annoying, but a classic user interface goof. Emulating a non-computer UI on he computer is as silly as it can get. The User Interface Hall of Shame shows this for a VOIP program which gives a classic phone as UI on the screen. This is no different.

I agree, the whole thing is a stupid crap (sorry).
Since I have a tablet PC (slate) I don't need anything else. I can use the built in joystick to turn pages or the stylus. I can look up a word in the oxford concise dictionary in just 3 seconds by moving the slider with the stylus.
It works well so there is no need to invent GUIs.
