Flip Through the Pages With Ebook Reader From Hewlett Packard

Art imitates virtual life with this product, a new A4-sized ebook reader from Hewlett Packard. You can flip through the pages in a functionality that approximates the visual sensation of actually turning a page in a book. The page is turned in a flash, as it were.
The Linux-powered reader can also peruse photo books on Snapfish, HP's photo site. Those and other reading material are put on to the reader via a USB port.
The prototype, featuring a non-PDF "other" type of format developed by HP, was unveiled at the Mobility Summit in Shanghai. A future version is supposed to have Wi-Fi as well.
