Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!

(This probably isn't quite the same without the visual of me bouncing up and down in my chair and making squealing noises over the Sforza Hours, but I trust to you imagination.)

Ugh, that user interface sucks. At least for me, it was very persnickety about where you "grab" the page by click-hold-dragging. (Never could open the cover, and turning pages was very dodgy.) Stupid overly literal user interface... good example of bogusly trying to recreate a physical experience via mouse/keyboard that just aren't the same. Computers already have a well-established and usable method for navigating through pages, the scrollbar with paging buttons, which thank goodness they provide as an alternate method...

Also broken in Firefox. Cool idea, though.
