As someone who studied literature and has dozens of boxes of books, I understand the complaint that ebook readers don't have pages. So I find the concept of the Turnover, designed by Timothy Yeoh, oddly appealing. Simply, it's a two-screen reader where the pages flip around each other in a way that functionally mimics the basic idea of turning. While it's only in the concept stage, it's a charming and possibly quite functional solution to a non-trivial perversity of the human brain. [GT]
