The 3rd picture is quite obviously a real book - the text is slightly warped due to the page curl.

I love this! People to have started to not to see the difference between eBook Readers and actual printed books...!!!!

(It means e-ink text sharpness must be very good for this mistake to be made at a quick glance.)

It also shows that the photos were taken in fairly average lighting conditions. The paper of a real book normally looks white to our eyes, yet looks gray in the photo. So the iLiad screen is going to look much better in real life too. I've heard before that photos don't do the e-ink screens justice.
