simple book on laptop

[Brewster Kahle]

For a talk at the Commonwealth Club in SF on the future of the book, Dan 
Aronson made a book display for the laptop in tablet mode. We passed it 
around and a room of people flipped pages on this cool book on this 
nifty laptop.

If you have a B1 OLPC and want to do this, then go to book:

and read the review that has the way to configure the keycodes so that 
the direction pad on the tablet map into direction keys and if flips the 
pages.

then click on the HTML link on the left hand side.

It looks really good.  The 200 dpi screen is very nice even on scanned 
pages.

Go open books, go open laptop.

yippie!

PS.  next we have to make something real work, but it is nice to see 
simple demos work.
