CSS Creator Aims To Kill Browser Scroll Bars

Run into THIS article although I haven't checked out the examples yet.

Sort of like a page flip with generated by CSS.

I am too lazy to download and install the opera reader, but it's definitely interesting.

I think there might be some misconceptions with “Books are much easier to handle than scrolls.” which is indeed true, but only because you have to scroll manually with real scrolls, which requires two hands. On computers it is a completely different story.

I can see some advantages with paged webpages however, such as saving bookmarks. And there might be some page layout advantages.

I think it should be asked, is it easier to browse the internet as it is now or is it easier to browse the internet as slideshows?

I agree. I feel this will be an excellent alternative to flash catalogs (flipping book) if it can be recreated using simple css.

If it does pick up in popularity and other browsers start implementing it, in such a way that users can choose whether they want to scroll or flip pages, then I will definitely make my blog page compatible.
