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.)
Duh, didn't log in. The above was me.
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.
