 It may be confusing that, to access
 OLPC Library, one must use Web
 rather than Read (if one opens the
 Read activity and tries to go into
 the Library directory, one sees a
 lot of apparently-empty directories
 because they don't contain files in
 formats supported by the Read
 activity).

 Can't the reader be moved into the
 web browser as a plug-in and the
 two activities combined?  or
 perhaps Read launches the web
 browser pointing to the library
 whereas Web points to some outside
 home page, thus clearly exposing
 the difference between reading ON
 the laptop and reading OFF the
 laptop, rather than introducing a
 confusing difference in supported
 formats (why should the child have to care that
 PDF books will be in Read and HTML books will be in Web)
