At no point does the centre book turn into a vertical line. If the iPad does that, I'd say the Calibre method was better as you can clearly see the centre three covers at all times.

I don't have Calibre on my work machine, so I couldn't directly compare, but by memory, I also saw lots of differences. Some of the image sequences in Apple's patent have the central book get larger and some have a lower edge of it off the screen - features I don't recall from the Calibre design. I really, really, doubt Apple would want to enforce it against an open source project (bad PR), even if they thought there was infringement, which I don't think there is, and I doubt their attorneys would either.
